Well, whatever he meant, I think the point stands: if gitk can do all
this stuff, then Bazaar ought to be able to go it one better with more
integration of GUI to VCS ... but it doesn't (yet).
I'm suggesting that once a couple of big performance enhancements
land, it's time to go look at making one or more GUIs first-class
members of the Bazaar family. (Maybe around 1.16?)
For example, the tree display should be *active*; you should be able
to click button2 on a merge and hide/show the subsidiary branch. You
should be able to drag a commit onto another commit and get a merge,
or maybe a diff. Dragging a head onto one of its ancestors should
revert.
Etc.
