How to do which ? (There are two things there - redesign the command
line, and maintain full compatibility).

For the former, I've put a strawman interface on the gnuarch.org wiki:
http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/BazaarMockupUI. Colloborating on that
is a good way to get an accessible command line interface.

For the latter, I think that careful review of changes is a key element.
If something changes the changeset format, or archive format, its
obviously going to run a non-trivial risk of GNU Arch protocol
violation.

Cheers,
Rob
