breezy uses lp: insteadOf from git config when project uses Bazaar

[Guruprasad]

When I run a 'bzr branch' command on lunar like 'bzr branch lp:lptools' it fails with an error message that says 'brz: ERROR: Not a branch: "git+ssh://<email address hidden>/lptools": Repository 'lptools' not found..'. This is strange and unexpected because the error message mentions not being able to find a git repository while I am trying to branch a bzr repository.

`lp+bzr:lptools` is a workaround: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2023-June/042619.html

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

The launchpad plugin should probably take ownership of the lp: prefix and use the Launchpad API to figure out whether the referenced project uses Git or Bazaar.

% ./brz branch lp:launchpad /tmp/launchpad
Ignoring insteadOf lp: in git config, because the Launchpad plugin is loaded.
Found both a Bazaar branch and a git repository at lp:launchpad. Using Git, since that is the projects' default vcs
