Setting the development focus for a new project should not require choosing from all branches in Launchpad

[Andrew Bennetts]

I just registered the bzr-ping project, and wanted to upload a branch which is to be the development focus. The steps I followed immediately after project registration were:

  * I uploaded a branch to lp:~spiv/bzr-ping/trunk
  * I went to https://code.edge.launchpad.net/bzr-ping
  * I clicked "set" (the prominent link to set the development focus)
  * I was presented with a text input box and a "Choose" link, even though there was exactly one branch for this project. I chose "Choose"
  * I got a pop-up window that immediately started listing branches from all over Launchpad, e.g. vcs-imports and other junk!
  * I had to type ~spiv/bzr-ping/trunk to choose my branch.

This could be much better: first, why was I shown branches not part of the bzr-ping project? Surely they can't be used as the development focus. (Perhaps this observation deserves its own bug report?)

Second, when there is only one branch in a project, just offer to set it as the development focus when I click "set". Don't make me search when there's only one choice!

Hell yes.

This should be as simple as changing the vocabulary from 'Branch' to 'BranchRestrictedOnProduct'.
