Comment 1 for bug 401617

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.

Public bug reported:

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.
