Yeah, the vocabulary should use the Branch.unique_name instead of the branch.id.

Also, the search window should show more information than just the name. It would be nice if it displayed the unique_name, the title, the author and the product.

Really, you want to drive this from the Branch page because the bug selector is much easier (one unique piece of information, the bug number).

What would be really nice is the ability to link to the bug as I
register the branch :).

I agree - having this driven from the Branch page makes sense.

Agreed that setting up the bugbranch from the branch makes sense, and that it would be nice to be able to set it up from the product/+addbranch page.

Still, this feature should be available on the bug page for discoverability and what's there needs improving.

Rejecting this bug. Created bug 43807 (ProductBranchVocabulatry token should be branch.unique_name) and bug 43808 (Creating bug-branch from the branch page) to address the two issues separately.
