Comment 2 for bug 41415

If anyone does look at implementing this, please keep in mind the branch renaming/reassignment feature of Launchpad.

At present, a user can go to the web UI and rename a branch, assign it to a different product or give ownership to someone else or a team. All of these operations change the path of the branch in the SFTP filesystem. Given that repositories are found by traversing file paths, this makes it very easy for a branch to lose its repository. We would need to make sure that either:
(a) the user couldn't rename branches outside of their repository, or
(b) Launchpad would prime the repository in the new location based on the repository for the old location.
