Sweet! This means bzr-svn can implement find_branches() so "bzr
branches" can work against svn branches. I guess it would also make it
easier to support git-like branches in the future...

It would be nice to have a docstring on BzrDir.find_branches().

I miss a test making sure that it doesn't find unreferenced nested
branches.

The value '.bzr' is hardcoded in bzrlib/workingtree.py. Ideally, I think
it should include other control dir names as well, but I can't think of
an efficient way to do that right now.
