I do not have an objection per se, just a few remarks:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:devel/bazaar-tests $ baz rbrowse --versions [EMAIL PROTECTED]/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/archtools--ddaa--0
[...]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/www--main--2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pyarch--abentley--0.5.0
[...]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pybaz--reorganize--0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/cv--1.0

You probably want to fix "rbrowse archive/" to behave correctly before
removing abrowse.

Also, why not just rename "rbrowse" to "browse"? This vestigial r prefix
does not make a lot of sense when abrowse is gone.

The plan, about 6 months back (if memory serves), was to deprecate those
commands in favor of a glob-based "branches" command, at some point
after nuking the c-b-v hierarchy. I do not know what happened to the
idea, but maybe you should sync about it with Robert.
