is it possible to publish the working tree of a branch?

Hi,

in svn, you can browse the files of your repository directly from the browser, as default behaviour. This is also possible with bzr, if the repository has an updated working tree and served on some server via http. The raw source files can be visited directly from the web.

There are at least two important use cases, that benefit from this and that cannot be easily done in other ways:

1. A branch contains a documentation tree rendered in html. This way, the documentation can be browsed directly from the repository. The documentation urls can be referenced from LaunchPad pages. The documentation can be generated, for example, with Sphinx.

2. A branch contains an UI mockup. This is a static html that loads up all the css and javascript, making the page testable without a server side. Javascript and (on a certain extent) ajax will function in this static page. This can be referenced from a blueprint, for example.

Would there be a way to traverse to the original raw files of a branch, in some url space, in Launchpad? I believe this functionality would be useful and interesting for many others as well.

Best wishes,
