I haven't read the code that does repositories, and maybe that's a
good thing, but my intuitive idea of "repository" is a "place where
there's a bunch of branches". Is that too far off?

I think the bar for introducing new terminology should be _very_ high.
With mercurial and git out there, people aren't going to swallow too
much bzr-specific learning before they loose interest.
