Another way to deal with this, which I think is the right way whether
Bazaar can do what you're asking: Don't put configuration settings in
the VCS at all.

For tests, mock externalities like network services, create test
databases dynamically in the test suite, etc. Configuration shouldn't be
tracked in the code base, IMO.
