I want to copy a file src to dst in a branch and when I merge changes
from an upstream branch I want that changes to src propagate to dst.

I think what I want is described in
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/bzr/+spec/filecopies and
http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrFileCopies

If the information on the blueprint is up to date then the
implementation hasn't started yet. But maybe there is a plugin that does
it. Or maybe there is another way of doing this. bzr split turns a
subdirectory into its own branch, but doing this will loose the
connection to the upstream branch.
