I long ago configured emacs to place my ~ backup files in a separate
directory.  Thus a claim that dropping ~ files into my workspace is a
common -- and hence presumably acceptable -- practice carries little
weight.  Could bzr provide a means of segregating such backup files in
some less obtrusive location?
