Attached adds a missing space and fixes an unnecessarily involved
sentence in the init-repo help. These should be fairly
non-controversial.
Beyond that, I think a little more adjustment in the text might be
called for. As a first step, describing a little more what's "shared"
about the shared repo wouldn't hurt. Perhaps something like:

"""Create a shared repository to hold branches.
New branches created under the repository directory will store their revisions
- in the repository, not in the branch directory.
+ in the repository, not in the branch directory. Branches in the repository
+ will share any common history, rather than storing multiple individual copies.
example:
bzr init-repo --no-trees repo
As well, while I've taken out the phrase about formats, a slightly
different version of the issue seems likely to come up soon. To wit:
To be shared, the branch format doesn't merely need to be a sharable
format; it needs to be the SAME sharable [repo-]format as the
repository. Aside from metaweave, which was never a default format
(and so can probably be safely ignored), we haven't had a non-testing
repo format, but it's hanging right there on the horizon now. Should
we (and/or can we, concisely enough) broach that topic in the help, or
just do our best to describe it in other documentation?
