It doesn't seem very hard to add support such that if we don't find
'.bzr' we use '_bzr' instead. But how do we decide when we want to
create a new branch?

The best I could think of was to have a flag in the config, and then you
could wildcard match so that new branches would be created with _bzr. It
wouldn't be trivial, but it doesn't seem that hard to do.
