'upgrade' is different. If you have 25 > 3GB branches in separate
repositories the 'pack' code path is not being executed. You instead are
seeing .bzr.backup as the problem :). And that we could conceivably do a
bzr check after the upgrade and remove, though I am wary of removing the
backup automatically; in the event of a silent failure it will be
extremely useful, and check is quite slow.

You shouldn't have to.
