Hi,

I have implemented some of the changes and pushed them to  the following
branch:
lp:~piastucki/bzr-eclipse/deprecate-lightweight-checkouts
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Epiastucki/bzr-eclipse/deprecate-lightweight-checkouts>

"Lightweight Checkout" option has been completely removed from the new
project wizard.
Additionally, each project being opened will be scanned and a warning
will be shown when a lightweight checkout is found.
I thought about offering an option to turn such projects automatically
into normal checkouts instead and I have even implemented the respective
piece of code. Unfortunately it looks like "bzr reconfigure --checkout"
almost always fails with a cryptic error message and thus renders my
code pretty much useless :)

A wiki page and a link to the page are still to be added.

BTW, have you guys managed to make any progress on the licensing issues?
Is there any way we can isolate the code contributed by Canonical?
Guillermo, what about your code? Can you change the license freely or
maybe it is also somehow copyrighted by Canonical?

Cheers,
Piotr
