broken handling of properly quoted relative paths

Hi Martin,

This is not a bzr problem.

Quoting is a shell solution to a shell problem (working around the
fact that shell uses spaces to separate arguments).
The problem you have here is that you are quoting an argument that
doesn't require quoting.

The command line you are after is:

~>find -type d -and -name .bzr -printf "%h\n" | xargs -n1 -I{} bzr
check {}

Note the lack of quotes around the final {}.
xargs will replace the {} and treat the replacement string as a single
argument when it execs bzr.

Cheers,
Kent.
