Comment 5 for bug 876629

If all you wanted was the content, not linked to anything else, you could
use 'bzr export'. If 'bzr remove-tree' was complaining about no branch, that
probably meaner the branch was already removed, or renamed, etc. Remove tree
doesn't *need* a branch, though the current code structure makes it hard to
write that way.
