The problem? How do you show a commit that is _common_ to two
branches, but has different revision names in them?

Why would you?

Assume you've got two long-lived branches and one periodically gets
merged into the other one. The combined history might look as follows
(more recent commits first):

 f   g
 |   |
 d   e
 |\ /
 b c
 |/
 a

The point is that it is extremely nice to be able to visualize things
that way. Say I've got a "dev" branch that points at f and a "stable"
branch that points at g. With this, a command like:

	gitk dev stable

would result in a picture just like the above. Can a similar figure be
made with bzr? Or only the following two separate pictures:

 f    g
 |    |
 d    e
 |\   |
 b c  c
 |/   |
 a    a
