Bug Description

A fairly common user request is to configure a bzr-only SSH account (i.e. no shell access, just bzr). This is possible with the contrib/bzr_access script in the bzr source tree (as well as simpler ones that have been posted to the list), so we should advertise this fact in our docs, with clear instructions on how to deploy it.

Sounds like a scenario for Karl too.

Btw, contrib/bzr_ssh_path_limiter is one of the simpler ones that was posted to the list.
