bzr should have option to disable foreign workingtree support

[methane]

I want to use bzr-svn for branching from svn repository.
But I don't want to use bzr for svn workingtree for two reasons.

1. Sometimes I use bzr and svn like below:
$ svn co http://svn.example.com/readonly_proj/trunk
$ bzr init
$ bzr ignore .svn
$ bzr add
$ bzr commit
...

2. When TortoiseBZR loads bzr-svn plugin, TortoiseBZR and TortoiseSVN conflicts.

This is something that should be handled in Bazaar itself, the same issue would come up for bzr-git and bzr-hg.

Also note that in the specified situation you can use "bzr --no-plugins init" to avoid bzr-svn from being loaded.

Note, though, that whenever you tried to work in a subdirectory, it
would fine the .svn directory before it would fine the containing .bzr
directory.

svn would also be special in this, versus .git and .hg. As such, I'm
pretty sure we probe for .bzr before the rest, which means that if
someone did "bzr init --no-plugins" then it would work as expected for
bzr-git and bzr-hg, but *not* for bzr-svn.

I'm not sure I follow - how could bzr-svn be involved if somebody ran
--no-plugins ?

You would run into similar issues with git or hg if you were trying to
init a bzr branch in a subdirectory of a git or mercurial repository.
