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.
