Not at all: checkouts will still have files on disk that represent the
instant the user is at, branches which are at arbitrary urls will not
have files on disk - though they can generate the content for the
-basis- tree.

If you wanted to say that Branch will be the basis tree and checkout the
active tree, that might make sense.
