I think this will be good (to be consistent with init).
And its not much of a disaster  if  your  new branches are configured to use
a shared repository, since we now have the `reconfigure` command which will
make recovery very easy. (I see the reconfigure help needs some love, as it
took me a while to figure out how to use it )

What may help to reduce unexpected behavior, is if these commands can be
made more verbose: print `bzr info` after the init/init-repo.  Then you
would know what happened. I see that these commands never print anything,
even if you run them with -v /--verbose. But thats for another patch to fix.
Let me know if anybody would have and issue if I make these commands print
something by default.
