e.g.

A shared repository on a central, readonly, server hosting all the modules.

shared_repos/module1
             /module2
             /module3
             ...
             /moduleN
             /programA

I need all those module to get my program to build.
So, to have a local working copy, I would branch each module from that 
shared repository locally?

e.g.

bzr branch http://server/repos/module1 module1
...
bzr branch http://server/repos/module1 moduleN
bzr branch http://server/repos/module1 programA

It's like the externals in subversion.

bzr branch http://server/repos/

Would then give me a full working directory.
