Well a few things:

1) Some of the tests were directly referencing
'bzrlib.plugins.historydb' because I forgot to redirect them. I'm still
sorting that out. But it is probably why some of the tests were failing
on trunk that could have been more mysterious.

2) Test coverage overall is pretty darn poor. Which is partially why
loggerhead isn't particularly stable to hack on. (The things you are
testing right now pass, but things you didn't think about start breaking.)

I've tried to at least always leave things *better* than when I started
it, but we're starting pretty low.

It would certainly be good to at least have smoketests for regressions.
I'm not 100% sure what a good test framework is for something like
Loggerhead. I don't think we want to test too much at the WSGI level
(integration vs unit tests, etc.). But we could certainly use a few
integration-level tests.
