Yes, but we want to relate someone's code to the one in our repository. Admittedly, with Arch we could rely on the globally unique branch names to use the user's local mirror, but with Bzr, there's no such thing. I'm not sure how we'd do it with Git, actually (we could presume the user follows some kind of convention w.r.t naming of his copy of the trunk, I guess). Stefan
