poor positioning of Bazaar on "upstream source details"

Bug #175492 reported by Martin Pool

Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone
Launchpad itself
Fix Released
High
Tim Penhey

Bug Description

https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr/1.0/+source

has

 (*) no revision control system, or Bazaar
 ( ) cvs
 ( ) svn

This phrasing/layout looks bad, implying "Bazaar is barely better than no vcs".

Please change the ui to be something like this

 (*) Bazaar
 ( ) cvs
 ( ) svn
 ( ) other, unknown, or no vcs

It also says

 > Enter details below for only the selected Repository type.

Which is kind of unclear.

This should be trivial.

It ought to also say it can have a bzr branch. Maybe also the action to set this should be called something more obvious than "edit source", and perhaps it should be linked directly from this text.

The thing I just posted about in comment 1 is in fact bug 49469.

I think naming should be consistent:
* Bazaar, CVS, Subversion
or
* bzr, cvs, svn
