Is this right?

[Brian de Alwis]

Wouldn't Russel's problem have never occurred if bzr instead  
remembered the originally-specified branch name, 'lp:bzr-xmloutput'?   
If bzr remembered both the original name and the mapped name (as a  
cached value), then bzr could fallback to the original name should the  
mapped name fail.
