I think git treats all branches equal, | there is no "mainline". If you merge two branches that touch different | parts of the tree there is no need to distinguish the two threads. I disagree! I LOVE this distinction. Each commit on a mainline is for a feature if you use feature branches. I want to see these 2 features as separate things regardless of whether they touched the same or different parts of the tree. Bazaar has the UI spot on I think - it just needs to perform better. I have been using Bazaar since 0.8 and I can tell you the performance improvements they have made so far are huge. They are still working on performance and I'm sure they will fix this issue in the not too distant future as they have a very good track record of doing so....
