Re: bzr repository ready?

[Richard Stallman]

    There are terminology changes going on, and I'm not fully up-to-date
    with those.  But the *semantics* are not changing: the normal way to use
    Bazaar is to fetch full historical data with each branch, so you have
    everything locally, and this is also what we are recommending for Emacs
    development.

I am not sure how to reconcile that statement with what people said
about lightweight checkouts -- that they are comparable to CVS checkouts
in what they contain.

Is the idea of lightweight checkouts that you first make a local repository
and then make a lightweight checkout from that?
