You changes seem interesting. I would like to add Tags, Unicode, and
gpg-integration.

I have http://bzr.arbash-meinel.com/branches/bzr/w-changeset/ as
out-of-date code for producing changesets. It is better than my old
plugin, but because of the TreeTransform changes, I don't really know
how well it will work.
Given a little bit of time, I certainly think it could get cleaned up,
and merged in. Just that my encodings branch took priority.

We both know that Patience sequence matching is almost trivial to merge in.

Tags are something that lots of people want, and I think I've outlined a
reasonable way of doing it
in http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrTagging

And for gpg, I think we need to add verification steps, so that we can
refuse to pull changesets that either a) don't have signatures, or b)
have invalid signatures.
