Understood. :)

bzr is a little bit different because usually your tree is a full branch
and when you commit you commit locally and then "push" changes upstream.
I will probably implement first the local commits and then add some
tools to deal with branches. (You can also have light checkouts that are
pretty much like SVN co but that's a different story.)

So, _usually_ you have a single repository that also is the working
directory. I suppose it is ok to have HasChildRepositories return
false. It is also ok to return the same Repository object for all paths
under the current branch? That would allow some caching and speed up
things a little bit.
