This patch adds numerous enhancements to the upgrade command to make upgrading a lot smoother than it currently is. In particular, it now upgrades dependent branches when a shared repository is specified. Based on feedback provided on the mailing list a few months back, it now also supports several new options:

* --dry-run for showing what will happen

* --clean to remove the backup.dir directory on successful completion

* --pack to pack the repository on successful completion.

There's room to make things even nicer still but I think this patch is large enough as is. I'd also like to get these changes landed soon to encourage those of us running Bazaar's trunk to get as many branches as possible converted to 2a prior to the Bazaar 2.0 release.
