The directory containing all your branches needs to be a shared repository::

  bzr init-repo leo.repo  # creates directory leo.repo
  cd leo.repo
  bzr branch .../path/to/local/trunk/branch name_for_trunk_branch  # avoids 
pulling all from lp
  bzr branch lp:clean-4-8 clean-4-8

The first branching above should take a little time, as it's copying a bunch of 
stuff locally.

The second branch will take very little time, as all the revision info is 
stored in .../leo.repo/.bzr (where the first branching put it).

*note* lp:clean-4-8 isn't the right url of course, it is whatever it is.

If it was me I wouldn't create a 4.8 branch until 4.8 was imminent.  Then, 
instead of freezing the trunk, like you did for 4.7, I'd create a 4.8 branch 
and do all your bug killing etc. in there, letting people do whatever on the 
trunk.  Then release 4.8 and merge it into the trunk.  Just seems easier to me 
that way.

For the pep8erator I'd create its own branch.  The name "pep8erator" you can 
have for free :-)
