I've experimented with something like this
( bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eamanica/%2Bjunk/bzr-multilocation/ )
One idea was to do something similar to bzr-bookmarks, but with multiple
targets.
Then you need new commands to work with them nicely.

Then I found scmproj which was ideal for my situation in that I have lots of
components that make up a project. Once configured I can run commands on all
or some of the component branches. (We are working on improving its
configuration and suggestions are welcome)
It even sort of solves this co-location problem by managing feature branches
safely away from your working tree, in a special repo that gets created per
component. So you don't clutter up your megaproject with repo's all over the
place.

I'm not sure if this will fit your situation, as it sounds if you are trying
to run commands on a set of branches of the same component. Maybe we can
figure out how to support that.
