That would probably help, though one complication is that to begin with we did 
create branches directly beneath "branches" before switching to categories as 
the number of branches we had somewhat exploded. I'm not sure how well it 
would handle the overlap period.

I do however seem to remember Jelmer talking some time ago about the branch 
layouts being phased out in favour of branch detection based on the copy 
source, though I could be wrong.

Here we go: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-svn/+bug/130372

Doesn't really explain what the new mechanism is though.
