So while you browse to "http://xxx/Bazaar/Flob" the first thing Bazaar
does is access "http://xxx/Bazaar/Flob/.bzr/branch-format". (or possibly
.bzr/smart)

So you can tell Apache to handle ".bzr/*" itself, but to pass off
everything else in that URL space to Loggerhead. Or even better, you can
tell Apache to handle everything under ".bzr/" except for ".bzr/smart".
