I think the idea I had of an automatic revision cache would completely 
solve this problem. Of course you could make your home directory a 
shared repository but that is a bit extreme and not the way Bazaar 
recommends to use shared repositories. This also wouldn't help if you 
branched a remote location into /tmp either.

I did mention this idea a while ago but can't find the thread now. Not 
sure why the Bazaar devs decided not to implement it. I would really 
expect it to only be a few lines to implement (although I know nothing 
about the Bazaar code base).
