yes, I think most of the requests has been by me :)

Uhm, I don't think that using a different project is a good idea. For 
branches, we are usually not much interested in the branch history, but in the 
comparison with trunk (ideally, with trunk at the point we created the branch, 
or at the point of the last merge from trunk).

As for visualize changes, I think that we don't need anything fancy, for 
example it would be already immensely useful to have the possibility of 
displaying the Changes page in a way that it compares the performances of the 
branch against trunk.
