At first glance, I feel the change is a correct one, and the tests seem 
good.
My primary concern is that we are now using a private functions 
(_find_format_and_transport, as well as _do_following_redirections).

In some ways that is ok, because we are still contained within BzrDir.

I'm a little concerned that this adds a lot of overhead (round trips) 
when probing for a branch, but I suppose that is only really true if you 
get redirected?

I'll want to think about this for a bit, but for now, I think it looks 
good.
