Well str(format) is only slightly better than repo(format), in that it removes
the @ 0xXXXXX info.

Actually printing 'format.get_format_description()' may not be so bad, instead
of seeing:

<RepositoryFormatKnitPack5>

You would get:

"Packs 5 (adds stacking support, requires bzr 1.6)"

I was thinking it might be nicer to say

"Upgrading the branch to '--1.6'" or something that corresponded with the
command line options.
