I like to know where my data is going. Typically, if I commit from my
laptop, I *want* my data to go on my master machine, it will be too
late if I realize after switching the laptop off. In this use-case, I
don't need the full URL, but I do need the machine name. The fact that
the branch is bound is not sufficient, since I may have done a local
checkout (I rarely do, but I sometimes have my working tree separated
from the repository). Same goes for my home machine which I switch off
when I don't use it.
Without an additional message, I either need to remember whether and
what the branch is bound to, or run "bzr info" afterwards to know
whether I need to do a "bzr push".
Not everybody have exactly the same use-case, but I believe it's quite
common to be unsure about whether the commit is already online or
needs a "push" to become so.
