But the basic concepts are common, more or less, to all modern VCSs.
Revisions, branches, merges, histories -- all these exist even with
CVS, and anyone who worked with a VCS in an organization probably
knows what rebase and deliver mean already.  What other concepts are
new whose lack of understanding can prevent me from considering the
pros and cons and cause me mistakes that will frustrate me?  Mistakes
can be done even with RCS, you know.

Whatever pointers you do have, please post them, even if they are not
specific to Bazaar.  Thanks.
