Tom, and others, have repeatedly said that the namespace is just 2-
dimensional and the ordering isn't really too special. [Some of that is
probably to quiet people wanting to change things, but anyway]

Nice.

Thats pretty cool though really cluttered. If this was displayed with
the other view (version -> branch) then it'd look like
moin
1.1
cvs base-0 .. patch-47
features base-0
fixes base-0 .. patch-15
multilang base-0 .. patch-2
productive base-0 .. patch-7
public base-0 .. patch-1
refactor base-0 .. patch-30
which looks much cleaner than
moin
cvs
1.1 base-0 .. patch-47
features
1.1 base-0
fixes
1.1 base-0 .. patch-15
multilang
1.1 base-0 .. patch-2
productive
1.1 base-0 .. patch-7
public
1.1 base-0 .. patch-1
refactor
1.1 base-0 .. patch-30
Especially with multiple branches of the same version etc. it becomes
easier to track it visually when represented in the other order.
I'm not advocating to make it _always_ that way, but an option would be
nice.
Don't see this as "diverging" from arch, think of it as a more user-
friendly representation of the arch namespace (well, at least sometimes
more userfriendly, with other working styles it'd be less userfriendly)
