Thank you both for your replies.

That would be fantastic. We're on the verge of migrating and need to 
make decisions about how to structure the code we have (which is 
currently in one monolithic subversion repository). My preference is to 
break it logically but we only want to do that if the tools are will be 
using (hopefully including BB) support it.

Then again, I suppose we could start with one repository and then split 
it up later as the tools support it.

So does this mean if a new branch is created, there needs to be a manual 
action taken to 'register' the branch in BB? We're not sure yet if we'll 
be using BB to only handle the review of commits to mainline, or if our 
developers will need to get review on all branches. The answer to this 
question would likely have some bearing what we do there.

That's a shame: it would be nice to be able to integrate them since they 
don't seem to overlap at all and yet compliment each other nicely.

Ah, thanks. I hadn't found this.

For what it's worth, I recommend that you do advertise BB and shout 
about it a bit more: it's an excellent bit of work. :)

(Note that allowing integration into other tools such as trac would be 
an easy way to increase exposure... Just a thought!)
