</div>I know, but the details aren't 100% clear yet. Mercurial is in much<br>
the same situation (although perhaps less far down that route - Bazaar<br>
development seems far faster at the moment, for better or worse).<br>
<br>
One point, which I assume you know but others may not - a bazaar<br>
"checkout" is not like a local branch. In a checkout, all commits go<br>
straight back to the parent branch, meaning that local commits aren't<br>
possible (OK, that's an oversimplification, but let's keep things<br>
simple) and the workflow is much more like Subversion.</blockquote><div>You can commit locally on a Bazaar checkout by adding the --local option to commit. This feature is supposed to add the flexibility to have team branches, where a bunch of people can work on a branch.<br>

<br>
The biggest problem with DVCSs is the vast range of subtly different<br>
terminology, for related but distinct concepts. It makes having a<br>
common terminology for comparisons really hard, resulting in all sorts<br>
of confusion :-(<br>
