Good point, thank you. The current implementation (that we are using for
parallel tests) reproduces what is done by rocketfuel-setup: it creates
a shared repository containing the devel branch.

AFAICT, having the set up described above, the developer can freely
choose what to use: normal branches or co-located ones.
We are trying to at least support, and hopefully improve, all the
features already present in the rocketfuel-* scripts (e.g.
rocketfuel-branch).
