Bug Description

Currently the locations (repositories and branches) displayed in bookmarked and recently opened list, and the tabs along the bottom, simply show their name, and shared repository.

When two locations have the same name, it can be hard to tell them apart. This occurs frequently when the same named project exists in different physical locations like remote and local. eg. \\server\bzr\proj1 vs c:\bzr\proj1

Please display the real location somewhere. At the least, a tool tip, perhaps the status bar, or (using long to short path 'pretty' display rules) as part of the location name.

This feature request relates a little to bug #548610 which suggests using 'nicknames' to differentiate branches. Such a feature would be useful but would not preclude the display of the real location which I am suggesting here.
