Description

Currently, the file size is shown as "?" when browsing a Bazaar repository. The attached patch (partly) fixes that issue.

Please note that this patch is far from ideal since:
a) it does not work if the bazaar branch does not have a working tree
b) it only works for the latest revision
c) wrong file sizes may be displayed if the working tree is not up to date with the bazaar branch

A better solution would be to use something like:
$ bzr cat -r 10 /file/in/repo | wc -c
However that does not work on windows platforms.

As workaround, maybe one could execute 'bzr cat -r 10 /file/in/repo' as via IO.popen and determine the byte count in Ruby then.

Oops, here it comes.

Please note that the shortcoming of bazaar concerning file size display has been addressed meanwhile:

Committed in r1537.
I think bzr cat -r 10 /file/in/repo | wc -c would be really slow with big/lots of files.
