Well, I can't say that I "want to show" it up, it's actually current
bzr behavior. I have only one my own personal reason to see .bzr --
thus I easily distinct between usual directories and bzr branches.
But in the end I don't care much about hiding or not .bzr because most
of the time I use FAR and I anyway see hidden directories, only
color is darker.

I have suspicious that .svn should be hidden because you have it in each subdirectory
of each your project, and this probably very annoying. Bazaar creates and uses
only one .bzr for one tree, so it's less annoying, IMO.
