That's a good point. But what about operations such as status?
Currently this happens:

	[user at localhost fooapp]$ bzr status
	added:
	  libfoo/libfoo.h
	[user at localhost fooapp]$ cd libfoo
	[user at localhost libfoo]$ bzr status
	added:
	  libfoo/libfoo.h

What I (as a dumb user who wants to do as little learning and much
working as possible) would expect to happen is this:

	[user at localhost libfoo]$ bzr status
	added:
	  libfoo.h

Am I just a svn-poisoned soul? :-)
