I was getting migrate errors because gaps are not allowed in the migration 
numbers.  Maybe this could be changed so that folks could use arbitrarily large 
numbers in their branches until ready to propose for merge.    That would help 
minimize conflicts and manual bzr rename on our local branches when merging 
from trunk.

The reservation numbers need to be monotonically increasing at trunk merge 
because suppose migration 12 gets reserved but doesn't submit any code changes, 
then migration 13 comes in and gets approved and merged, then migration 12 
merges code and breaks migration 13.  You can't revert back to migration 11 
because the new migration 12 is in the way.
