Yeah, as long as posts to .bzr/smart work, we shouldn't be doing much
via the pure HTTP layer. Though I wonder about the code that 'falls
back' to VFS operations from time to time. AIUI if you use an "http://"
url then any VFS will be done with a regular "GET" request, while if you
use "bzr+http://" then everything is done via POST to .bzr/smart.
