Well, it sounds like it could be text/x-bazaar-bundle

However, that causes problems because I assume things marked as 'text'
can have their line endings modified.

Which means we would want:
application/x-bazaar-bundle

But then readers would not show the file contents by default.

I'm just guessing though, it may only be 'text/plain' that can be munged.
