This would be a landmark improvement in bzr usability, IMHO. It will  
take a long, long time to implement that though, I imagine (yes, even  
for the mighty who say "actually, it shouldn't be too hard." :) In  
the meantime, continuing to have baz undo/redo work in bzr would be  
nice, even if you choose a different name for it.
