Bug Description

When looking at a branch, it should say something more descriptive than "Branch format 6" when displaying the branch format. Ideally, the UI would show a branch format name that matches the names shown by "bzr --help upgrade", so that a user can clearly understand whether their branches are in a format that supports stacking without needing to go read the bzr code to find out what Branch format 6 means.

It is really great that the UI shows the branch format, that is very useful.

I see now that this might be a bzr bug rather than a launchpad bug. BranchFormat7.get_format_description() returns a poor description.
