Package: bzr
Version: 1.13~rc1-1
Severity: normal

Quite often when using a shell I will press <Enter> one or more times
to clear some visual space from the previous command output. This
works in most shells because an empty commandline is a null operation;
it returns immediately to the prompt.

The ‘bzr shell’ currently does not behave the same way; instead, an
empty command line is interpreted as “repeat the last command line,
whatever it was”. This leads to frustration at minimum, and sometimes
disaster if the command should not be repeated.

The behaviour of Bazaar's shell should conform with common shell
behaviour, and treat an empty command line as a null command,
returning immediately to the prompt.
