So... how does one give priority for branch A versus branch B? We could
arbitrarily look for branch names like "trunk", but otherwise we just
have a DAG with branch tips at certain points. There is no clear
superiority between one branch and another.

The numbering you see is because one branch shares some mainline
revisions with the other.

Anyway, using the name "trunk" as a hint that this should be the first
branch to be evaluated would probably be reasonable, but I certainly
wouldn't say that it would always work.

What if you give the branches directly, instead of having them found. So
if you did:

bzr qlog trunk my_branch

rather than
bzr qlog

Just a thought
