I'm pretty simple: everything is under ~/repo/, with non-bzr
repositories getting ".[type]" appended to the name, e.g.:

~/repo/personal-config/  (a bzr shared repository for all my settings
files; not much of a point of this being shared, honestly)
~/repo/django.svn/  (a subversion checkout of Django, but ...)
~/repo/django/ (a bzr shared repository, under which "trunk" is a
branch of lp:django; I use this for actual hacking on Django, since
subversion makes me shudder)

Nope, never saw the point ... if I just need to grab the bulk of
history once, why not take advantage of local history browsing, etc.?

Launchpad.  (A long time ago, I argued against its automatic inclusion
... boy, have I changed my mind since!)

Something along the lines of bzr-interactive (if it had hunk-splitting
support like git's interactive mode did, I'd use it constantly).
