I'd prefer enable flag instead of disable, i.e. --archive-support or 
something like that to enable the feature instead of disabling it.

Also you may want to look at using rules file, or store settings in 
branch.conf or in the .bzrmeta/rules or something else to have this 
option configured in some config file.
