You know, I was thinking the same thing, but perversely enough, when I
see your email, I come up with a counter-argument.

A single redirect in a tree structure doesn't indicate that all the
children would also redirect. It would be possible to redirect some or
all of my branch files, while still maintaining the branch at a given
location.

On the other hand, bzr has a native form of redirction: Branch
references. They're the kind of branch that a Checkout uses, but any
attempt to open a Branch reference will instead open the referred-to branch.
