Bug Description

Binary package hint: devscripts

bzr just puts a .bzr file at the root of the working copy. Since debcommit only checks for the existence of .bzr in the current directory, it fails to detect being in a bzr working copy if you are not in the root of the working copy. The attached patch fixes this.
