And, unlike git, Bazaar branches are all independent entities[1], and they each have a URL. So: http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzrrepo/bzr.ab 1695 is a name for abentley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx And it does not depend on any other branch, especially not bzr.dev Since: 1. anyone with write access to the urls can create them 2. anyone with read access to the urls can read them 3. the maintainers of the mainline have no control over them (except as provided by 1) these identifiers are not centralized.
