Repository referencing in command lines

Actually, this may be the best functional description of my real
issue.  If the repository is easily guessable (the same repository as
the branch I'm currently in is in, or the repository specified in
$BZR_REPO, or such), I want to refer to branches in it directly by
name.  URL syntax makes that a little sticky programmatically, and
VERY sticky mentally.

The other side, where "bzr get http://bazaar-ng.org/bzr/bzr.dev" could
mean a standalond branch at /bzr/bzr.dev, or a branch called bzr.dev
in a repository at /bzr; I think I care a less about the ambiguity
there.
