I think we can do it tentatively, and explore the consequences. It
sounds like a good thing to do in general.

I know that 'delta.py' is going to say that your first revision has an
'added' file of ''.

So just doing 'bzr init; bzr status' is going to say there is something
there. And since the string is empty, it isn't clear what was added.
We really should give a better message. But that means 'root' is special
cased again ....

Anyway, I'd be happy to see this. Just feel it has some longer reaching
implications.
