On another axis, it's consistently restrictive -- we don't let you create anything other than branches via the SSH server.

I talked to beuno about this (being a user-visible change, it needs a UI review). He suggested that we only create the package when --create-prefix or some other option is passed to bzr, to avoid creating packages as a result of typos.

Another approach, which we didn't discuss, is for the codehosting server to create the branch without any special option, but to trigger some client-side warning saying that it s doing so, and point to a way of moving the branch to the correct package and undoing the creation of the package. This is probably more complicated to implement.
