Bug Description

We use links to development and release branches in order to control access. A basic view looks like:

root@bazaar-test:/var/new_bzr_repos# ls -al
drwxrws---+ 4 root client 4096 2009-08-28 15:35 client
drwxr-x--- 3 fred users 4096 2009-08-28 15:34 fred
drwxr-x--- 3 john users 4096 2009-08-27 16:32 john
drwxr-x--- 2 mike users 4096 2009-08-26 15:27 mike
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-08-28 10:34 mrua_staging -> client/mrua/trunk/
drwxr-xr-x 3 roger users 4096 2009-08-28 14:23 roger

Users can referece mrua_staging and this works fine allowing us to change the link to a release branch when appropriate.

The problem is that Loggerhead simply lists mrua_staging as a branch at the top level. There is no way to know from the browser that the branch is really client/mrua/trunk.

Is there a way to configure Loggerhead to display this information or even some basic text description of a branch on the screen so that we could update this as needed?

Thanks,

Jay
