Comment 16 for bug 375013

I only vaguely understand the issue... but nevertheless:

Would it help if a stacked branch holds the last commit from the stacked-on branch whenever it was created or merged last? This will also allow some of the operations like diff on the stacked branch to be local. If my understanding is correct, I do understand that this is somewhat a change in the very definition of a stacked branch but this does not seem to be an issue to me. Extra space required would be justified for me if network load is reduced.
