Perhaps the desire is to be able to follow the evolution of a
specific chapter more easily, without getting entangled by other
chapters' changes?  That's the only thing that comes to mind for me.

Even in that case, you could put all chapters in one Bazaar branch
(versioning the entire dissertation as a single entity), and then do
'bzr log chap1' or 'bzr qlog chap1' etc. to see the log of a specific
chapter.

For one thing, keeping the entire document in one Bazaar branch means
you can uniquely identify a version of the document with the Bazaar
revno or revid.  This makes backups and release management easier.

Colin
