(Sorry I'm just now getting back to you on this). I've never used subversion so I can't compare the two, but I think you got it. I've come to realize that the thing (one of the things) that makes version control so difficult to understand is that the main metaphor, trees, is very problematic. How can a branch have a tree? Isn't it the other way around? And why isn't a repository called the roots? Bazaar seems to have gone as far as possible to make the metaphor clearer, but its just not very helpful when you're first trying to understand this stuff. Right!

Please get the people in charge of the Bazaar site to explain this more clearly. I really think alot of people coming from subversion (guilty myself) are getting confused because they changed nature of branches from what our mental model was. For the better from how it sounds Correct me if im wrong (this is more of a question than a statement) but it works like this: In subversion we have a repository that is separate from our working copies. We check out from the repo and then check in our stuff with our standard trunk, tags, branches setup. In bazaar you init in the directory your work is in and it is now a branch from which other branches can be created. The repository is a part of and now inside that directory. Right?
