bzr 0.8 in beta now fixes many of the issues bazaar 1 [aka arch] had.

Specifically - there is no extra namespace, you just work with branches
at urls - equivalent to just having multiple CVS trees on disk, but with
disconnected work built in. It also solves the 'shared repositories are
hard' aspects of arch, and includes a drop-in replacement mode for CVS
users.

Yes, proslytising a little here.
