[RFC] move revision-history from branch to shared repo

[James Blackwell]

I'm kind of curious. What is the general opinion of moving the
revision-history for branches in shared repositories from the branch to
the shared repo?

Benefits:

 - Ability to audit a shared-repo and check for prunable revisions.
 - create a new checkout or standalone branch based upon the information
   stored in revision-history
 - Would feel more similiar to CVS, SVN, Bazaar-1.x and Arch (!)
 - 

Drawbacks:
 - would require the definitition of additional UI
 - A branch has to track what revision-history its associated with.
 - Isn't consistant with standalone branches
