* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well

* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.

two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.

* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand

objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but

* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on

* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the

other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.

API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they

require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
