AIUI, branching a stacked branch gets you the full branch -- stacked &
stacked on. Branching with the --shallow option will make a new
stacked branch stacked on the original. Maybe there should be a UI
option for cloning the stacked branch.

On a different note, should the UI say "Created stack branch on"
rather than "shallow"? I haven't followed the terminology discussions
close enough to say for sure.
