I think it is recommended, it just hasn't been fleshed out. I would probably
suggest such an option to be put on "bzr reconfigure" since that seems to be
the command for this sort of thing.

At the moment, the only way to get a branch with that option is during "bzr init".

bzr init --append-revisions-only

So you *could*:

1) have launchpad delete the existing branch
2) bzr init --append-revisions-only lp:...
3) bzr push lp:...

Not exactly optimal.

The other way to do it is to use sftp and do:

sftp bazaar.launchpad.net
> cd ~user/project/branch/.bzr/branch
> get branch.conf

# outside of sftp, edit the file to add
append_revisions_only = True
> put branch.conf

Both are not very nice, it is just a feature that hasn't been fully fleshed
out yet.
