I agree sticking stuff in a directory in ~ would be nice, but call it 
something other than .bzr, in case people want to version their home 
directory.  I know of many people who do that in Subversion or CVS 
today, and there's no reason to make it impossible when we can easily 
pick another directory name (.bazaar perhaps).
