Shallow branches FTW.  This would be awesome to focus on, and should be able 
to build on stacked branch work.  Make bzr handle ghosts on mainline history, 
and enabling committing to a stacked branch.  This would rock!

Changing looms to use co-located branches seems like a win to me.  This would 
also bring looms and pipelines closer.  I'd love to see a unified model here.
