What am I missing here?

-------
A repository is a "place/thing/whatever" that stores your revision
data. There are two kinds of repositories in bzr.

A shared repository can contain multiple branches, this is the kind of
repository that you find in for example subversion.

A "none shared/internal/branch specific/private/whatever" repository
is contained in a stand alone branch and is automatically created
whenever you create a stand alone branch.  This type of repository can
not contain multiple branches
-------

Is there anything not clear about that description?

I think we just need to find a clear name for "shared" and "none shared".
