I agree it would be a cool feature. You might run into the problem of it being too jealous - if you accidentally do `bzr init-repository` in /, you're in for a ride; and - how many levels down do you go, in the case where people are nesting branches in (empty) convenience directories [ie we have repository/mainline and repository/hackers/person1/branches and repository/hackers/person2/branches, both hackers and person{1,2} are empty not branches not "repos"] still, seems like it could just work, ie "if there are no .bzr directories in directories immediately below this one, then don't worry about looking for branches' revisions to pull up, just make the new repp and get on with it. </pre> </blockquote> I'd totally agree with one-level deep (i.e. directly below the repo). I'm not sure if anyone would need a two-level deep branch inside a repo, but this can be provided via an option. Besides if they really want, they can symlink it... I'm not sure about its implications though. <blockquote cite="mid:1189649228.7226.24.camel@moonglow.roaming.operationaldynamics.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""></pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">or it could just do it anyway as I can't think of a case where one would want to keep a branch inside a repo that didn't store its history in the repo. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Me neither. Sounds like a sensible default & no need for an option.
