Disabling plugins from a config file is a chiken and egg problem, if we
implement that, plugins can't change the way the config files are used.

So IMHO we shouldn't imeplement it.

But you can disable plugins for a given command with
BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS.

$ bzr help env-variables

Environment Variables

<snip/>

BZR_PLUGIN_PATH     Paths where bzr should look for plugins.
BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS Plugins that bzr should not load.
BZR_PLUGINS_AT      Plugins to load from a directory not in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH.

The bzr-svn plugin may also be modified to check for a config variable
and disable itself in this case ( or pretend it doesn't recognize the
branch as one it can handle).
