Like 'bzr branches', bzr switch looks at sibling branches of the current branch, not of the current working tree.

I think this is reasonable. Is there a particular reason why you would want to switch from a lightweight checkout of something else into a branch that is colocated there?

AFAICT, switch is looking at siblings of either the current working tree or of the branch reference. Instead, I think it should look at siblings of the referenced branch.

In my example, "checkout" is a checkout of "two", which has "one" as a sibling. But I can't switch to "one" by running "bzr switch one".
