Because people don't always use those steps; in fact I almost never do:
I usually branch in an existing project tree, i.e.:

  cd OLD-PROJ-TREE
  tla tag -S `tla tree-version` NEW-BRANCH
  tla join-branch NEW-BRANCH
  tla set-tree-version NEW-BRANCH

[Note the -S option to tag substitutes for the `archive-setup' step]

Actually I usually use a script called `tla-fork' in my tla-tools package,
which is one command.  :-)
