Yikes!  Even git-thinkers will be hard put to figure that out for
themselves!

I'm rapidly coming around to the view that bzr is capable of doing
pretty much anything git can, but that y'all are deliberately hiding
that fact and imposing unnecessary performance costs (like making a
full heavyweight branch instead of doing the above) on users.
