One can be:

$ bzr branch trunk feature
$ cd feature
$ hack; commit; hack; commit; etc

later, when changes have occurred on trunk

$ bzr merge --preview

I also use it when I decide to re-start a feature implementation
from scratch:

$ bzr branch trunk feature
$ cd feature

 hack; commit; hack; commit; 

Oops, I now have a better idea just slightly different.

$ bzr branch trunk better
$ cd better 

 hack; commit; hack; commit; 

Now, what did I forget from the previous try ?

$ bzr merge --preview ../feature

gives me a good overview of the differences between the two
approaches.
