please make bzr push lp: push to lp:~username/+junk/branchname

[KarlGoetz]

(I've decided to report a new bug[0], but it feels very similar to [1] and [2]. Couldn't decide if its really just a dupe).

I feel when someone runs 'bzr push lp:' it should push into the users +junk/ space. this would match tools like ssh, where ssh-copy-id, or scp will accept hostname: as the users home directory.

for example.
 bzr push lp:
would push to
 bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzr whoami/branched-project-name/branch-nickname/

[0] I asked about this yesterday/day before on #bzr, and someone suggested I patch up bzr's lp plugin to handle it. Don't know if I will, but wanted the idea out there.

If its a dupe feel free to mark it as such, and I'll subscribe to the parent :)

Interesting idea. Perhaps needs some discussion about whether this is really where people will normally want to be pushing branches. It seems to me that if they started out by branching from a Launchpad project, they would normally want to push back into that namespace.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but perhaps we could make lpjunk: mean this, rather than lp: ?
