I don't think that this is a good idea. This approach breaks 
compatibility with other tools (at least on Windows). I don't think that 
inability to copy and paste local file path from windows explorer to 
command line of bzr is good. I'm personally don't want to type every 
time file:///c|/path/to/file instead of c:\path\to\file. Because latter 
I can copy and paste from somewhere.

So, if you want to make life much harder for windows user then force to 
require only URL paths from command-line interface. Worst idea is hard 
to invent. :-(
