Looms are sequences of "branches" where each branch adds some changes to
the previous (and each such branch "tracks" the previous), so when you
pull some change from upstream into the bottom "branch", you have to
merge that up through each one of the "branches".
That's exactly what "bzr colo-merge" would need to do as well.
