This is starting to turn into a "my VCS it better than yours" discussion rather then anything else. That's unfortunate....

But it wouldn't be hard to create one...

As of now there is no way to do it due to the fact that nobody has done it yet. You can ofcourse clone branches into a common repo and do operations on that. For example, there is a plugin that allows you to list heads in a repo (and not in branches). So basically, if you loose a branch, you can still find the head in the repository and recreate the branch.
I don't see any problem doing a "gitk --all" equivalent in bzr. Personally, I don't really have a need for it.

bzr branch -r-2 development stable (or "bzr branch -rrevid:foobar" to start at revision id "foobar")
very easy.
