visiting files in Bazaar workarea

[Bernardo <bernardo.bacic@pobox.com>]

hi,

if i run:
  $ emacs -Q some_filename

in a directory which contains (or its parent has) .bzr directory *and*
currently don't have connection to the corresponding Bazaar repository,
Emacs stalls and fails to load the file.  An example would be when
Bazaar repository is somewhere on the LAN and temporarily there's no
connection to it.

If the .bzr directory is renamed to something else everything works just
fine. 

A similar situation exists when Emacs executable is run (after building)
from a directory with source code pulled out from Bazaar repo (e.g
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/). When an *.el file is opened
in that tree (e.g. describe-function) Emacs does its voodoo by
connecting to the Bzr repo across the internet which can take
considerable time and you cannot do much until this is finished.

Anybody knows about a nice way around this?
