With two significant differences:
    - As I read the discussion, bzr archives are going to require explicit
      names for the heads (btw. git does too, or at least that I was told).
      Mercurial does not.
    - Mercurial does not plan decoupling the storage and working copy. Though
      with their model there is really no principial reason for the coupling.
      (The reason is really principial only in Darcs (everything is a set of
      changesets there), but with bzr 'privileged head' it's a lot more
      justified than in mercurial.)
