No DAG-based VCS (with the single exception of Mercurial's "named
branches" AFAIK) remembers on what branch a commit was made.  What
Mercurial and Bazaar try to do is ensure a one-to-many branch-to-
workspace mapping, so that you must change workspaces to change the
focus of development.  Some people apparently enjoy that restraint.
What amazes me is that they're not all Java developers. ;-)
