Please no.

I like the way bzr works right now and I think that it should be the
default. A newbie user shouldn't HAVE to know about working trees,
repositories, etc. He/She should just go "bzr branch http://..." to
start to contribute to an existing project, or go "bzr init" to work
on his/her own.

I'd rather see --repo.
