bzr doesn't reveal location of .bazaar

[John Whitley]

Version: 0.14

Problem: Bazaar should be able to report the value of config.config_dir(). Depending on the user's environment settings and platform, the actual location may be inobvious (esp. on Windows systems).

I would recommend adding a line that reveals the config dir in the version command, ala:
Using python interpreter: ...
Using python standard library: ...
Using bzrlib: ...
Using configuration dir: /home/myspiffyusername/.bazaar

If you have bzrtools installed you can do:

$ bzr show-paths --system

and got much more info:

C:\Temp\0.15rc1>bzr show-paths --system
*** Main bzr paths info ***
Python interpreter: C:\Program Files\Bazaar\bzr.exe
    Python library: C:\Program Files\Bazaar\lib\library.zip
    bzr executable: C:/Program Files/Bazaar/bzr.EXE
            bzrlib: C:/Program Files/Bazaar/lib/library.zip/bzrlib
    bzr config dir: C:/Documents and Settings/F1/Application Data/bazaar/2.0
  bzr plugins dirs: C:/Program Files/Bazaar/lib/library.zip/bzrlib/plugins
                  : C:/work/Bazaar/plugins.work
          .bzr.log: C:/work/Documents/.bzr.log

Do you like it?

I always forget where Windows stores the logfile and plugin dir, would help if I could just point users on irc to --version output.

It means to integrate a part of my show-paths plugin into bzr.dev?

That would be fine; I also whipped up the (trivial) patch below to
add this info to 'bzr version', which already prints a path info for
python, python stdlib, and bzrlib.

BTW, I'm using bzr 0.14, but the generated bundle is version 0.8...
shouldn't it be bundle version 0.9?

sigh. bundle attached this time.

I think should.
Are you run from sources or from installed copy to site-packages?
Sometimes manual installation with `python setup.py install'
over old version of bzr does not update all files in bzrlib.
In this case you need to delete bzrlib and install bzr again.
