Some sort of automatic prefixing according to the symbolic name (local)
of the repository a topic got pulled from would be very nice. There
could even be some logic when switching to a "remote" topic (e.g.
"alice/smartfixup") that would create a local topic (e.g. "smartfixup")
so that the prefix would not get too invasive when actually working a topic.
