Learning more, I see from above that:

*public_branch* is used only by "bzr send", so this would get set the
first time you use bzr send if you don't echo it into the
.bzr/branch/branch.conf file as shown.


*bound_location* is the link back to the branch that a checkout was
taken from.


Doing the echo only saves you a one time prompt on your first usage of
"bzr send".
