Are squashed commits and discarded branches possible in bzr?

Really.  If I delete my bzr.dev branch (a branch in a shared repo)
then I'd remove 5KB of content (28KB of used disk).  I don't know that
I'd consider 28KB of disk 'a lot' even if git used only a single byte
- I'd have to discard a lot of branches before I cared about that.

Perhaps you're assuming that the branch has a working-tree :-)
