One nice feature with bzr is the ability to write plug-ins, and override 
or extend its commands. I'm pretty sure it is much easier and more 
powerful than writing Bash or Python wrapper scripts, since you're in 
the heart of the software.

The fact that the UI is much easier and "natural" (when you're a long 
user of revision control software) is also an argument to me. I found in 
git those long commands I'm fed up with in tla. Maybe cogito fixes 
this... I'll check out as soon as I find their website!

But bzr is still young. No offence but git has more experience and 
probably more debugging time.

My advice to you is writing down your needs in the rows of a table, two 
other columns for git and bzr, and put a mark between 1 and 5 for how 
much each one meet your requirement. But ponderating the importance of 
each need may also be necessary. Make the calculation and you get the 
winner, thanks to this unmatched scientific method!
