Can you tell me more? Roundtripping specifically is the ability to
preserve *all* bzr metadata when pushing a revision into
Subversion, which involves setting lots of custom revision properties.

I'm planning to instead have Breezy be aware of the equivalence
between commits in different repositories and have commands like merge
understand that equivalence; that would avoid setting the revision
properties in Subversion (that many people have objected to) and would
allow easy interaction with Git without having to add lots of metadata
in the Git commit message as bzr-git currently does.
