We are discussing the centralized model here. Which is more popular
than it seems: given enough developers, distributed models are
indistinguishable from centralized models (wrt the topic we are
discussing.)

For the rest of your message, I'm afraid you confirmed my concerns. I
was hoping to receive a reply of the type "this issue can be solved
using technique X and so you can go back to home while dinner is still
warm." Now I know to which projects *not* recommend bzr (which
nevertheless is my favourite vcs, being the lack of externals the only
serious gripe I found so far coming from svn).
