Bazaar shared repository structure with/without working tree

I'm using bazaar with the following shared repository structure on network drive:

proj_name (shared repo **with working tree**)  

.bzr  
developer a (integrator) (FOLDER)
    trunk      (branch)
    feature a  (branch)
    feature b  (branch)
developer b (FOLDER)
    trunk      (branch)
    feature a  (branch)
    feature b  (branch)
developer c  (FOLDER)
    trunk      (branch)
    feature a  (branch)
    feature b  (branch)
formal version (branch)

I want that formal version branch will be branch without working tree, where all the other branches will be with working tree.
Is that possible?

NOTE : I tried to create the formal version branch with bzr push N:\Projects\proj1\formal --no-tree but its still create the working tree

I found two solutions for this probelm:

In case of existing branch with tree you need to use 'bzr remove-tree PATH (Solution from Martin Pool)

In case you want to create branch without tree , the bzr branch --no-tree is what you need (Solution from jelmer)

Notes:

  1. bzr push PATH --no-tree to a PATH that's not exist , will create branch WITH tree.
  2. Once branch is created without tree or remove-path was executed , you can
    use push with or without `--no-tree switch and the branch will stay without tree.

The --no-trees is an option of the repository itself.

If you want the formal branch to have another structure, you must have it outside the repository. Example:

proj_name (FOLDER)
    developer a (integrator) (REPO --no-trees)
        trunk      (branch)
        feature a  (branch)
        feature b  (branch)
    developer b (REPO --no-trees)
        trunk      (branch)
        feature a  (branch)
        feature b  (branch)
    formal version (REPO with tree!)

or you can have a repo at the developper level, and another at formal version.
THis way, you have a different op^tion for each repo.
