Insights from bzr newbie coming from git

[Nicholas Allen]

I can see there is some merit to having multiple heads in one branch and 
flipping the working tree between them. However, I personally would 
prefer that bzr does not do this. Bzr supports so many different styles 
of workflow at the moment and does it in an intuitive manner. Adding 
this concept on top would be something that would make bazaar more 
difficult to understand I think and take away from its elegance. Like 
you say, if you want to work like this it is possible in bzr with 
lightweight checkouts and switching it from one branch to another.

Bzr makes branching so easy and I personnally want to keep my working 
copies separate for different branches. The main advantage is that you 
can build the working copies and the files are not modified when you 
switch to a new branch. With C and C++ applications the time to rebuild 
because you switched your working copy to a different head would be far 
too annoying.

So please don't do this in bzr ;-)
