Pushing into shared repository without trees on SMB share is not using repository to store revisions

It *is* sharing history, it is just creating a working tree because of a
bug in 'push'.

For .bzr/, you probably have a .bzr/checkout/basis-inventory which I
would guess is fairly large.

Basically, when you use 'bzr push' if it is a local directory (and a
mounted network drive *looks* local). Then push always creates a working
tree.

It is a bug in the 'push' code.

It hasn't gotten enough attention because most of us use sftp to update
a remote branch, not mounting it locally.

There are ways to get rid of the working tree now that it was created,
but it isn't a simple command (yet).
