Agreed that it would be great to have something that allows accessing
and using remotes in Breezy.

I think the first step towards this is to come up with a proposal
around how the UI should work exactly - this is going to be different
from Git because of Breezy being significantly more oriented around
branches rather than repositories.

Such a proposal doesn't exist today - Martin and I have talked about
it a couple of times, but we haven't settled on anything concrete that
would work across multiple different vcses. I think ultimately this
is about a mechanism to manage and access information about related
branches in various ways.
