A minor (k)nitpick :)

Metadir is the bzrdir format to hold tree, branch and/or repository formats.

Your comparison was between the weave and knit repository formats. They both reside in a metadir.

Issuing a "bzr init-repo --format=weave" will create one using weave. The error should actually be a warning, it does create a valid weave repository.

Creating a repository through “bzr init-repo –format=metadir” will create a knit repository. Issuing a “bzr init-repo –format=weave” will create one using weave. The error should actually be a warning, it does create a valid weave repository.

This new terminology will be included in the 0.8 release. Note that the current development version of bzr has changed the format name of a weave inside a metadir from “metadir” to “metaweave”.
