Yeah, I was speculating about that one too. It might be workable.
Just "cp -r" the master whenever we fork a new branch. However, there'd
be no very easy way to get a change history that includes patches that
applied only to some back branches (something that does happen, a few
times a year perhaps). Maybe that special log tool Andrew was
speculating about would take the form of a program to aggregate the
change histories of several repositories.
