Bug Description
I'm currently running Bazaar version 1.6b3 and discovered that the newest installation changed my command prompt for my bash shell. The change is clever, but this is not, and I repeat not a good thing to do. Its one thing to make a change to bazaar proper that will provide greater functionality or performance, but you should never make an application change that alters the general user experience. I have customized by prompt to provide information that helps safeguard me in many ways. Now that has been thrown out the window on a whim from the Bazaar developers.
Provide the option, but don't make the change. This type of upgrade is rude and completely unnecessary. Please change this to leave the prompt alone by default, but install a script that would allow this change if the users wanted it.
