I get the duplicate space usage from "repository/packs/" and
"repository/obsolete_packs/" (both 1.2gb).
I make sure I delete the .bzr.backup/ dir right after each upgrade already.

I can't have a 40% increment in disk space usage just because I
upgrade to the latest format, and wait for a commit to auto-delete the
obsolete packs either. I don't have that much disk space available at
the moment (and it doesn't seem reasonable).
