I had encountered this behavior, but hadn't realized it was on account of my
own git config!
For my part, I dug through the code and discovered that lp+bzr:
(undocumented AFAIK) works to force the use of bzr. Since I do a lot more
git checkouts that bzr from Launchpad these days (a trend that is only
likely to continue), this is what I'm sticking with, reserving the shorter
shortcut for git.
