The bigger problem is that bzr+ssh:// URLs are absolute paths from the
*server* root. We of course run the bzr server, so we advertise URLs of
the form:

        bzr://research.operationaldynamics.com/bzr/slashtime/mainline/

but have to get to write the following to push:

        bzr+ssh://centauri.lhr.operationaldynamics.com/export/web/com/operationaldynamics/research/bzr/slashtime/mainline/

This is, of course, inane, asymmetrical, bad security practise (for
exposing underlying server side internals), lacking in elegance, and the
sort of usability cruft that I for one would like to encourage the
Bazaar hackers to try and eliminate before they feel confident to call
bzr 1.0.

(Some bright spark in #bzr suggested I could make a symlink called /bzr
in the root directory of my host pointing at the base of the virtual
host htdocs. I think I'll just let that stand on its own merits.)
