Shallow branches question

Hi,

The shallow branches feature sounds great! I'm just wondering if this is 
the same as the "history horizon" thing that was discussed a while ago. 
Can shallow branches cache some revisions from the remote location or is 
it an all or nothing approach still to caching remote revisions? It 
would be nice to have say the last 5000 revisions in a branch but 
nothing before (so annotate, log etc still give some useful info).

Can I still do "bzr log" on a shallow branch while not being connected 
to the remote branch that it is branched from? So bazaar would still 
show me my local revisions without needing network access.

Just wondering what the planned capabilities of shallow branching are 
(in near and long term).

Cheers,

Nick
