One thing to note is that their idea of tradeoffs will probably be
rather different.  For instance, one of the big stumbling points of
per-branch rules is heavy resistance to a $ROOT/.bzrrules file in the
WT.  hg even puts _tags_ in the WT, so they won't care for a second
about doing so, even if we shy away from it.
