This is true for all VCSes, as far as I know.  What is different about
Bazaar is it likes the one-workspace-per-active-branch layout a lot
more than any other dVCS (except Darcs, which absolutely enforces it).
Mercurial makes it somewhat annoying to work with multiple named
branches in one workspace, while that's the natural way to work with
git.

Which has strong implications for workflow.

There was a series of posts by Matthieu Moy that I think got
crossposted here and emacs-devel at gnu.org.  You'll notice I'm not a fan
of the "LHS is special" leaning of bzr, but Matthieu explains it
pretty well, I think.
