I'm curious about how you guys and girls are doing that...

I don't use it, but I wish I could :)

I use various tricks to track what I want to achieve in a branch,
ranging from a TODO spelled differently or outside of the branch, to a
top thread in a loom or a COVER file where I gather the important points
I should mention when proposing for merge.

How about getting rid of BRANCH.TODO *and* adding it to .bzrignore ?
Hmm, not ideal either.

Just killing it has my vote anyway.

We may as well add a pointer to HACKING.txt and remove the link to the
blueprints.
