The problem is that '.backup.bzr' would still be added if you did a
plain 'bzr add' and would show up if you do 'bzr status'. So it is cruft
that is lying around in your working tree. It is far better to have
*visible* cruft in 'backup.bzr' rather than to have invisible cruft as
'.backup.bzr'.

If you didn't have a working tree, then there is more of a reason to
leave it hidden, but not enough (IMO) to actually leave it in.

I'm also CCing Jonathan because LP will need to be updated to allow
'backup.bzr' to exist so that you can upgrade your launchpad branches.

It is probably trivial, but it should hopefully happen quickly.
