Bug Description

I recently came across http://kitenet.net/~joey/rfc/rel-vcs/, which seems like a really nice way to bridge the automation gap from a web page to a VCS branch. Could code.launchpad.net be enhanced to add rel="vcs-bzr" attributes to link to the branch?

For https://code.launchpad.net/PROJECT, it's easy, at least when there's a development focus branch; there's already an <a> tag that can be amended.

For https://code.launchpad.net/~OWNER/PROJECT/BRANCH, it seems like a useful new <link> tag to put in the <head> element.

Interesting. Not too hard to do. How important is it?

Would we want the rel link on the links to the branch pages themselves?
Like on branch listing pages?

Not important (in a "distro request" kind of sense) at all; I just
thought it would be neat.

Branch listings probably ought to so that you can in theory say
'webcheckout https://code.launchpad.net/PROJECT' and get all its
branches. I don't know about other links.

I know it's not nice to just do a +1 without content, but it's been sitting here for a while :)
