Bug Description

Similar to bug 456418, which is about showing info about the prerequisite; this one is more focused -please show the merge proposal for the prerequisite branch rather/as well as the branch itself.

e.g. in
Status:
Needs review
Proposed branch: lp:~amanica/bzr/find_bzrdirs-ignore-branches-with-missing-repos
Merge into: lp:bzr
Prerequisite: lp:~amanica/bzr/find_bzrdirs-ignore-PermissionDenied-dirs
Diff against target: 64 lines (+24/-1) 3 files modified

The prerequisite link there could be to the mp for it.

(This implies that a prerequisite branch that is not proposed for merging would prevent creation of an MP).

If we were going to link to the code review rather than the branch, we should change the text. All through Launchpad a link that looks like a branch url links to the branch. To have it here linking to a code review would be confusing.
