You're right, I haven't used them for my own projects, but I did look at  
them briefly.

I must be blind - I just looked at all of the hosting solutions you  
mentioned, and this is what I saw:

Launchpad: Looking at https://launchpad.net/bzr I see absolutely no  
mention of branching/forking.
Bitbucket: http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/descendants shows an  
unformatted, almost-unreadable list of forks.
Gitorious: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/repositories takes forever to load,  
and when it does it shows a list of widgets for each fork, with no useful  
information except the name of the repository (usually  
username~"-"~projectname).
