This right here is my main issue with bzr.  I can handle the slowness, but I find it very difficult to maintain multiple branches and share patches between them in bzr.  I end up doing a lot of diff | patch -p0.  I think git's rebase is far superior to that workflow.  I'll take a look at loom, sounds interesting.
