You're specifying a path to a branch that does not exist.  The
cbranch_target has no effect on where cbranch looks for branches, only
on where it creates them.  So foo/trunk is expanded to
/home/xavier/src/foo/trunk, not /home/xavier/repos/foo/trunk.

No, you can type "bzr cbranch ~repos/foo/trunk foo/feature-baz".

You can do that, and I think it's a good way to work, but it's not
strictly necessary.
