Not enough. bzr has mechanisms for enforcing that revisions on the left
hand of the branch remains there. AFAIK this is not possible with git.

If you want to use bisect, git forces you too make all commits
bisectable. With bzr you can limit that policy to merge commits, and
then apply more liberal rules for committing on feature branches.
