I'm not sure why its more robust. Branches are not coupled to
repositories, only to the presence of the revision data. Having branches
not directly contained by their repository makes gc very hard; the only
things I can see a uuid allowing are violations of the rule about being
contained [i.e. by allowing repo contains repo contains branch using the
outer repo].
