git-bzr do not support using "/" in branch name

[baby-gnu]

This is a git convention, as branch names are juste files under .git/refs/heads, every parts before last element must be a directory.

I implement a fix to create the parent directories as needed.

Regards.

I just hit this when trying to push a branch with / in it. Didn't really understand the problem...now I do. I hit the problem when doing the following thing:

git checkout -b feature/new_awesome_feature
git bzr push lp:~<user>/<project>/<branch_with_forward_slash>

and got the following error:

bzr: ERROR: Parent of "<branch>" does not exist.
ERROR:root:Command "bzr branch <master> <branch>" failed.
