This is the following bug. Rob: note that now that we have a generic new
repository task editor the solution should not be Bugzilla specific.
Can't save new bugzilla issue without submitting it to server

That sounds like a reasonable use case for attachments, but I'm still not
sure whether they should appear as linked items or whether they should be
copied over into the task. I don't think that we should be creating a
separate file store beyond what the workbench already provides. Also, for
the submitting bug use case note that this might be addressed by having
unsubmitted repository tasks handle attachments. Either way, please submit
a bug report describing your concrete use case(s) so that we can track this.
