Using "bzr checkout" with no arguments produces the same behaviour - i.e. it converts the tree-less branch into a branch with a tree, while apparently doing nothing to the actual checkout.

Running the command a second time produces an error "Cannot create a file when that file already exists", whether you run it from the checkout or from the branch.

The documentation for "checkout" says "If BRANCH_LOCATION is omitted, checkout will reconstitute a working tree for the branch found in '.'." I'm a little confused by what this means - if you want to convert a tree-less branch into a branch with a working tree, shouldn't you use "bzr reconfigure --tree"?
