If you use basically centralized workflows (and Emacs's *is* basically
centralized -- that's why people bitch so much about feature freeze,
for example), bzr has a lot of optimizations for that.

You got that right.  I don't have any mixed feelings about it, though;
Bazaar does its best to prevent me from working the way I think, while
Mercurial got its colocated branching wrong, although the mq extension
makes up for that to a great extent.
