Hello Kent!

Well I found out that the argument doesn't require quoting in the 
meanwhile. But as all of the shell commands and tools I know of accept 
quoted arguments I suggest that bzr does so, too. Its just really 
confusing otherwise. At least bzr is called as a command from a shell and 
thus IMHO it would be good if it behaves like being one - despite the 
fact that it is a Python application. It good support those unquoted 
arguments as well. All it would have to do is to remove the quotes from 
the argument before processing it when they are there.
