Title:
  Tree.iter_child_entries() method

Status in Bazaar Version Control System:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  It would be nice if the Tree interface had a method for iterating over
  the children of a directory.

  This would make it possible to convert a few of the functions in bzr-
  svn/bzr-git that currently rely on inventories to use the generic tree
  interface for e.g. push. This makes it possible to e.g. push directly
  from a git checkout to a svn branch.

  There are currently two methods on Tree that iterate over entries, we could also tweak them so a iter_children method would not be necessary:
   * list_files: tailored towards "bzr ls" output, yields unnecessary data and does a lot of things that are not necessary
   * iter_entries_by_dir: yields all entries in the tree or only some specific file ids
