Bug Description

If the user is not logged into Launchpad, then 'bzr branch foo' will show this warning:

  You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to
  write to Launchpad or access private data. See "bzr help launchpad-login".

...though it will still pull an http:// branch assuming the project permits. For example, try it with this command:

  $ BZR_HOME=/ bzr branch lp:~launchpad-pqm/bzr-loom/trunk/

There is no way to suppress the message, even though no error condition has occurred. Passing --quiet doesn't work, at least as of bzr 1.16.1.

I agree this is not ideal but what precisely is the bug you're reporting? If
it's that you're given the message even for readonly public operations it
may be a dupe.

The bug is that bzr prints out a message that looks like a warning or an
error, for a condition that warrants neither. I looked for a dup and
couldn't find one.
