Bazaar encourages you to stick lots and lots of branches in your repository. They don't even have to be related. For example, my repo contains branches of bzr, bzrtools, Meld, and BazaarInspect.Git allows this just fine. And lots of branches belonging to a single project is definitely the common usage. It is not common (nor encouraged) for unrelated projects to share a repository, since a git clone will fetch every branch in the repository.Right. This is a difference between Bazaar and Git that's I'd characterize as being "branch-oriented" vs "repository-oriented". We'll see more of this below.This is one of things I on the other hand like better on bzr than git. Because it is really branches and not repositories that I usually care about.
That's probably because you are used to Bazaar-NG, and your habits speaking. Think of git clone of repository as of bzr "branch". For example git encourages using many short and longer-lived feature branches; I don't see bzr encouraging this workflow. -- Jakub Narebski Poland
