Personally I'd like a mode for bzrk which is much more like the layout
you get from bzr log:


  mainline
  mainline
    merged revision
    merged revision
      sub-merged revision
  mainline

in a gtk nested-list mode so you can expand/hide things.  

In general seeing where a revision branched from is much less
interesting than seeing where it ended up.  You should be able to click
on one of the non-mainline revisions to see its mainline, or jump to its
ancestor.
