That would be nice, but it would also be useful to be able to "bzr push
--no-workingtree".

That would also be useful to help people recover from incomplete initial
push to Launchpad.

https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad-bazaar/+bug/53340

Before that bug is fixed (or bug 45504 or bug 30576), one way to recover
would be:

 * delete the broken .bzr on the launchpad sftp
 * do "bzr push --no-workingtree" locally
 * copy the bzr in the produced branch to the launchpad sftp

That would save the need for .bzr surgery to remove the .bzr/checkout.
