another option is to normally only show the reduced version info like robert
suggested,
but print a WARNING if there the current working directory
contains a bzr executable, which is not equal to the one being tested.

(this might cause some false warnings if you used symlinks and
they are effectively the same, but I don't think thats too bad)

This sort of thing (testing the wrong bzr) have bitten me so many times that

I now remember most of the time to double check this if something looks
fishy.
I think this is a regular pitfall for new bzr developers and well worth
addressing.
