Paul, even with a branches in a shared repo (the way I usually work),  
this isn't odd at all.  I work this way with looms all the time and I  
often find myself wanting to reorder threads.  It's the one thing that  
you have to think about in advance, i.e. where is this thread of  
working going to fit into the stack.

So +1 in general for the idea of re-ordering threads.
