I think check should, by default, check anything it can but
provides options to restrict the checks when you want. For
example if I'm tracking a tree or branch related problem, I don't
want to lose time checking the repo.

I'm not sure DWIM is worth the effort here...

A related point: I've been bitten in the past because I forgotten
to specify '-v' for a repo check that took day(s). So I'd like
check to *always* output data that may be needed to fix whatever
is found to be wrong (putting that info in .bzr.log is ok).
