Config for branch, not in branch

bzr allows different "profiles" to be used for different branches.  For example,
if you contribute to two different projects foo and baz, you might have an email
of ladeuil at foo.org for the first one and ladeuil at baz.org for the second one.

Well, it doesn't need to be attached to a branch: it can be set in the [DEFAULT]
section rather than in a branch specific section.

As for versionning: would it break anything to maintain ~/.bazaar under revision
control using bzr?  I don't think so, but I could be wrong.
