Correct me if I'm wrong, but reconfigure-pipeline is actually pretty close to
what I want, I think.  'bzr reconfigure-pipeline' will create a ./pipes
directory in the current working tree, and all new pipes will go there.  If
this was named .bzr/pipes instead I think that would be perfect.

I did a quick and dirty hack which seems to DTRT.

It does mean that instead of doing a lightweight checkout to start with, I
would use a straight up 'bzr branch foo bar' then reconfigure.  I could live
with that.  Maybe a better name for that would be 'init-pipes'.  I'll just
add that as the sixth essential pipeline alias. :)

Hacking reconfigure to set up .bzr/pipes when run in a lightweight checkout
might be a good idea too, but I don't think I'll tackle that one.
