Bug Description

It would be nice if bzr cat could work on a remote branch. So I would like to do something like this:

 bzr cat http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/README

to view the latest README on the bzr trunk. However, I get this error message:

bzr: ERROR: http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/.bzr/ is not a local path.

Some of the code in cmd_cat looks a bit weird, that needs more looking into. I've attached a quick fix that should work at least in your case though.

The code in question got introduced with r2107 for the fix to bug 30190.

Some of the currently possible code paths can't possibly work (tree can be None, throwing a NoneType exception). There are no tests exercising these, partly due to the earlier problem of the NotLocalUrl making it impossible for cat to work remotely.
