Sorry to nag again, but any chance somebody could do a quick review of
this? I'm mainly interested in hearing whether or not I have a chance of
getting (something like) this accepted into bzrlib before I spent more
time improving it and writing tests. 

It should help for all foreign branch implementations, but would help me
in particular for bzr-svn and bzr-git.

Cheers,

Jelmer
