Vcs branches, debcheckout, and UDD

[John Meinel]

I think for UDD it is important to have the wt, but I think we could
do.better about making the branches subset compatible. The package importer
already uses several branches to try and match file ids. This could be
another. The history would be divergent, but you could use "bzr merge
-rx..y" rather than diff/patch.
