I'm not very comfortable with this.

First, .bzr contains "the stuff that matters", and I don't want the
user to ever have to do some cleanup manually there for example, while
he might "rm -f .bzr-dvc-something". In general, I'd rather avoid
mixing temporary hidden files with my RCS data.

Furthermore, .bzr/tmp/xxx might end up beign _bzr/tmp/xxx, and this
adds a particular case for the tool.

Yep, I've seen the thread right after posting this message ;-).

Adding my comments there ...
