Big sigh.  Yes, you are correct.  @thin or @auto are essential for
cooperation.

We can still use a files db to reduce the pain of @shadow, but @shadow can
never be good in a cooperative environment.  Indeed, committing private
files to bzr would be a terrible idea: synchronizing public and private
files is never going to feasible.

So it looks like we are stuck with all 9 @<file> types.  Boo hoo.
