As a **total newb**, who had trouble initially with the distinction
between init and init-repo, I'll offer a suggestion.

I prefer "init" to "create". "Create" seems wrong when the target is
the present working directory. I do agree that it's important
encourage the user to choose explicitly:

bzr init --single  (was bzr init)
bzr init --shared (was bzr init-repo)

But, I think there's still a place for some DWIM behavior:

plain "bzr init [DIRNAME]" should produce a usage message if the
target (DIRNAME or current directory if DIRNAME is omitted) exists and
is non-empty.

Otherwise, "bzr init [DIRNAME]" should be equivalent to:

bzr init-repo DIRNAME
bzr init DIRNAME/trunk
echo "Please begin working in DIRNAME/trunk."

(What's the conventional name for trunk/default/master/main among bzr
regulars? My use of trunk above was just a wild stab.)
