(since pull seems the only way to synch up without infinite new
merge commits being added back and forth).

The infinite-merge-commits case doesn't happen in bzr-land because we
generally don't merge other branches except when the branch owner says
"Hey, I've got something for you to merge".  If you were to setup a
script to merge two branches back and forth until they were 'equal',
yes, it'd churn away until you filled up your disk with the N bytes of
metadata every new revision uses up.

This is new to me. At work, we merge our toy repositories back and forth 
between devs only. There is no central repo at all. Does this mean that 
each merge would add one extra commit per time the one I'm merging with 
has merged with me?
