Hi Alistair
 The -t parameter calls a command from a template even if it is not
the template that created the project. When you create a project
quickly defaults to the creating template unless you specify
otherwise.

quickly -t alistairs_template create ubuntu-app
  alistairs_template should not contain a create command so a command
not found error will be thrown.
If it did, because you had run
quickly quickly ubuntu-application alistairs_template then
quickly -t alistairs_template create ubuntu-app leads the original
duplication of project files problem you mentioned.
quickly save will probably crash on lack of bzr repo directory
quickly submitubuntu ditto
quickly -t alistairs_template submitubuntu - a command not found error
will be thrown.
alistairs_template will not contain a submitubuntu command, unless you
put one into it. Consider alistairs_template as a collection of
commands and quickly calls them from within the source tree and
provides them with the right environment. You write the commands, and
as you say, they can do anything.
