Simpler configuration of Launchpad hosting

[Stuart Bishop]

I'm slowly acquiring nearly identical stanzas in my locations.conf file, like the following:

[/home/stub/src/pqm-repo]
public_branch = bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stub/pqm
public_branch:policy = appendpath
push_location = lp:~stub/pqm
push_location:policy = appendpath
submit_branch = lp:pqm

It would be great if there was some shortcut to say 'everything here gets pushed to this launchpad area'.

[/home/stub/src/pqm-reo]
launchpad_hosted = lp:~stub/pqm

Something like this could provide all the defaults, which could then be overridden as needed. Plugins could extend these defaults, so they work by default without me needing to manually update all my stanzas.

Many people would just have a single stanza:

[/home/stub/public-repo]
launchpad_hosted = lp:~stub

FWIW, I just have this:

[/home/jml/src]
cbranch_target = /home/jml/repos
cbranch_target:policy = appendpath

[/home/jml/repos]
public_branch = lp:~jml
public_branch:policy = appendpath
push_location = lp:~jml
push_location:policy = appendpath
submit_to = <email address hidden>

(I have a split checkout / branches layout).

This works for almost all of my projects without modification.
