Well, I think you are used to ViewVC, because I personally find it very hard to
find a list of what has been changing, especially per branch. Some of it is
just CVS which doesn't present a good way of listing the most recent changes.

I think you'll find that Bazaar starts encouraging you to treat the branch as a
whole, and for those sorts of things the workflow webserve provides is quite good.

However, that doesn't mean there aren't use cases that could be easier. If you
have a specific list of things that you really like (about View VC or any other
system), please let us know so that we can work out how to incorporate them.

At the very least having a list of what you consider "a user typically does"
would be nice. (bzr log is probably the second most common command for me,
which doesn't have a corresponding command in CVS, bzr status being the most
common, which CVS also doesn't do well.)
