Description

Maven's SCM API seems to lack support for distributed SCMs like Bazaar and friends.

Having support for "push" (my changes to a parent repository) and "merge" (other people's changes from a parent repository) would be great!

It would also make it possible to unbreak the Bazaar plugin which currently does "push" implicitly on checkin:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/scm/trunk/maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-provider-bazaar/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/scm/provider/bazaar/command/checkin/BazaarCheckInCommand.java?view=markup

I'm guessing the other DVCS providers are having the same problems.
