Shallow branches question

I think something like this should be possible:

  $ bzr branch --shallow .... ....
  $ bzr pull --fill-history &
  (start working)

I share John's concern about whether this should be automagical, but
perhaps we can build the mechanism for it and then see what works as
the best default policy.  You could alternatively have just one
command that builds the tree as soon as it can, tells you so, then
keeps working on fetching the history.
