Yeah, I wasn't sure which one was better.
If the tree was pristine, then I might actually prefer the
last-revision. Because whatever I've named it, it hasn't actually been
used for that yet.

On the other hand, if it was unclean, it would be nice to know that. But
I think a clean/unclean check is way too expensive for "bzr --version".
(however it makes lots of sense for something like setup.py).

I'll solicit feedback. Which do people think is best, branch.nick or
last_revision.nick? (That's part of why I didn't integrate it yet).
