Yeah, but I agree that the error message means we really should have 2
commands. "bzr checkout" and "bzr create-tree". So that you can have a
proper default for 'create-tree', and not overload 'checkout'.

I think 'bzr checkout .' could still work, as could "bzr checkout branch"

Since the default to_location is the same as the branch you are
operating on.

Just that 'create-tree' is more clear about what you are actually asking
to do.
