I think it's far to late to change the name of the _project_. bzr starts
to be known, but many people wouldn't know that "olive" is the new name
of bazaar ... We already have Bazaar 2.0/Bazaar-NG/bzr, I don't want to
have to say "Olive, formerly known as Bazaar 2.0, AKA Bazaar-NG, whose
executable was bzr" to let people understand what I'm talking about.
bzr is fine for my dvorak-fr ;-)
How about just bz otherwise? Perhaps a confusion with bzip/bunzip ...
Ah, one point in favor of keeping bzr : we have a .bzr/ directory which
makes sense if the program is called bzr, and changing this has a
considerable impact on backward compatibility. So, perhaps keeping bzr
and letting users alias it to something else if they use it too much is OK.
