That makes sense.  I'll start gathering some thoughts and see what I can do.

It's not that anything fails (well, that's not entirely true...
something complained to me once about "not being a branch of XXX"...
but I can't honestly remember what it was).  I guess my issue is I
don't quite get how branches map into Bazaar since Bazaar doesn't have
named branches.  The tags makes some sense... but then, I also have
issues there.  Where does the tag actually go?  On trunk?  On
individual branches?  With Bazaar, you don't have that global
namespace like you do in Subversion, so I'm having trouble
understanding exactly how it's supposed to map into things.  Does this
feature really only matter for svn-import?

TIA!
