0) Benji and I Tuesday radically simplified "get". It only inits the repo and makes a lightweight checkout for launchpad from a local no-trees branch. It is useful for people wanting a vanilla install of what we believe to be the best way to develop. Other people can use simple commands (e.g. bzr init-repo . && bzr branch lp:launchpad devel) to get different setups, and they should work fine with our other tools.
1) Brad and I renamed "get" to "initrepo" because we thought this was more descriptive. We also moved the bzr locale.conf initialization from inithost/install to initrepo, because that was more appropriate now. 2) We agreed that we would in fact make an inituser. We thought that something well factored now would be easy to combine into "do everything" commands. On the other hand, something poorly factored would be harder to divide later. That said, I did realize that I wanted to be able to use "testing" (-> "initall" or something?) myself. 3) In order to get rid of the install command, which only really has a responsibility to lxcinstall in our plans, we will move everything out of it except for the last bits that have to happen, largely as root (setting up the database and make install). These are the things that eventually Robert wants to fold into inithost. Because it is a wart from his perspective but useful, my suggested rename for this minimal install command is something like "finishinithost" (clearly warty but kinda usable). 4) We talked about how commands overlapped. This might be useful to make things clearer for everyone.
