"bzr init" has a --append-revisions-only option, which will enable this 
for new branches you create.

You can also set it on existing branches, either by using "bzr config", 
or by manually editing .bzr/branch/branch.conf:

$ bzr config append_revisions_only=True

or

$ echo append_revisions_only=True >> .bzr/branch/branch.conf
