It ignores all files starting with "+".

This is a Lord-ly change, probably.  GNU Arch recognized files and
directories beginning with '+' as user-defined and never subject to
VC.  (I think they were called "precious".)  For example, I got in the
habit of using names like "+build" and "+log" for directories holding
build products and build logs, respectively.

I guess somebody like me (except for having push privileges, so don't
blame me! ;-) added that to a local .bzrignore and inadvertantly
pushed.  Flog them with a wet noodle and teach them about
"~/.bazaar/ignore" (for more -- but as usual, not too much more! --
info, see "bzr help ignore").

Oh, I had completely forgotten about ~/.bazaar/ignore, thanks.
