easy ui improvement suggestion

I'm hoping someone might pick this up and do the small patch to implement it:

At the moment we have a bit of a ui design flaw that if you don't
create a repository directory and just branch, either from a server or
locally, it will work just fine, but they won't share storage so it
will be inefficient.  We should probably fix this by having threads in
the default branch implementation along the lines discussed by Jelmer.

But as an easy interim improvement that would make it more obvious, we
could just print a message when we're making a new repository, or
using a shared repository.  It would give people a clue why it's doing
more work.

Something like "copying all history to new repository %s"
