I haven't done any code review but a quick comment nonetheless; 
I'd rather see a different filename than $BAZAAR_HOME/.bzrproperties.
Using a dot file doesn't make sense in this case since it is
inconsistent with the names of all other files in BAZAAR_HOME and it
makes it hard to discover the file. Also, I think the word 'file' should
be in the name somewhere to make clear what sort of properties these
are.

What about something like $BAZAAR_HOME/fileproperties ?

Cheers,

Jelmer
