Hi Guillermo,

Thanks for your comments, good to know it is not only my opinion :)
I think removing lightweight checkout from the options available in the
new project wizard and adding a brief info to the known issues section
is probably enough. Showing a notification to inform the user sounds
like a good idea too, do you know if there is any easy way to tell
lightweight and regular checkouts apart in bzr?


Cheers,
