bzr itself doesn't really have a concept of unloading a plugin,
because they can and sometimes do do arbitrary monkeypatching, and
that's not easy to reverse. We could add something, either
specifically for bzr-git or generally, but will your tests really be
reliable?

this is a workaround for deeper issues inside the lp codebase itself; but one that is low risk, easily identified and will add breathing room to the the lp test suite.

What is the problem with having bzr-git loaded exactly? Are some tests
failing if bzr-git is loaded? If so, couldn't we just fix those tests?

Note that whatever changed with codehosting, it also broke "bzr cat
lp:~bzr-pqm/bzr/bzr.dev/bzr"

Specifically, this form is now trying to probe for a branch at
~bzr-pqm/bzr/bzr.dev/bzr/.bzr/branch-format and is getting a
PermissionDenied error, rather than NoSuchFile.

If we got NoSuchFile then we would probe up a directory, and find that
everything is ok.

Nothing has changed here for at least two years.

Yeah. Feel free to do the 'me too' thing on
