VCS comparison table

[Erik Bågfors]

This is starting to turn into a "my VCS it better than yours"
discussion rather then anything else.  That's unfortunate....

As of now there is no way to do it due to the fact that nobody has
done it yet. You can ofcourse clone branches into a common repo and do
operations on that. For example, there is a plugin that allows you to
list heads in a repo (and not in branches). So basically, if you loose
a branch, you can still find the head in the repository and recreate
the branch.

I don't see any problem doing a "gitk --all" equivalent in bzr.
Personally, I don't really have a need for it.

bzr branch -r-2 development stable
(or "bzr branch -rrevid:foobar" to start at revision id "foobar")

very easy.
