Err, for cvs, what's closest to the .bzr/ directory is the CVS/ one in
each directory of the project ...


However, there seem to be an almost-consensus on keeping .bzr/ by
default.

A quick

  bzr inventory | grep '\.py$' | xargs grep '\.bzr' -n

tells me that the code change is probably a bit longer than what
Robert posted a few days ago.

I think bzr 0.8 should be able to read either .bzr or _bzr with .bzr
as the default, but probably create .bzr/ by default. Later, some
parameterized mechanisms can be added to create either .bzr/ or _bzr/.
(eg. specifying the default in ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf, telling "pull"
to use the same default as the current branch or whatever).

So, the default behavior will be identical to the current one (both
for functionality and performance), but users can use _bzr/ if they
want to (with a minor performance penalty).
