Yeah, probing it would be very smooth.  What Jelmer and I were thinking
of was probing for each branch type, but permitting overrides if some
particular type was desired.

+        for bt in allowed_types:
+            assert issubclass(bt, Branch)
+            try:
+                return bt.open(base)
+            except NotBranchError:
+                pass
