Bug Description

At the branch directory level, we only allow .bzr, .bzr.backup and backup.bzr.

Even read access to other names triggers permission denied:

mwh@grond:trunk$ sftp bazaar.launchpad.net
Connecting to bazaar.launchpad.net...
sftp> cd ~mwhudson/pydoctor/dev
sftp> ls foobar
Couldn't stat remote file: Permission denied

This is silly, we should just signal not found in this case.

Yep. This bug explains it better though IMHO so I'll mark the older one a dupe.
