But perhaps > I'm mistaken, and you can do this in bzr-gtk/bzrk... 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. > BTW.
