OK, I'm pulling these in now.

Something in the latest merge code (run by bzr branch) seems to have
trouble with accessing branches that have a non-default root id.  I get 

bzr: Changeset entry for TREE_ROOT-20050718050618-bed150f7b5473c3a (./.)
is invalid.
file ./. has "TREE_ROOT-20050718050618-bed150f7b5473c3a" id for both
self id and parent id.

  at /home/mbp/lib/python/bzrlib/changeset.py:557 in __init__()
  see ~/.bzr.log for debug information

Maybe that check should just be relaxed for the root?

I think it makes sense as core functionality.  Being able to try things
as plugins and then move them in is pretty nice.
