Bug Description

When Bazaar fetches a revison from a remote location it should record this revision in a cache (which could have a configurable size). The next time it needs that revision it would not need to download it but would take it from the cache instead. This would simplify the use case where the user branches remotely without creating a shared repository. The next time they branch from the remote location it would happen much faster.

This could also help in the multiple "bzr missing" case, or the "bzr pull" after "bzr missing" case.

The general story here of 'don't download the same thing twice' is definitely something to look at in the 3.0 workflow epic.
