Like Skip, I tried experimenting with it. While that may be the right
model, I don't think it is the right software. In bazaar-ng 0.0.5 (which
is what Debian unstable currently has), bzr commit would not open
a text editor, but require the commit message on the command line;
selective commit of only some of the changed files is also not
supported. bzr diff cannot show the changes between two revisions,
and cannot show revisions across branches.

So I assume that using bazaar-ng right now would cause problems in
day-to-day usage.
