In my opinion, if someone (such as Handa or myself) is happy with VC and
the old CVS-style workflow, we should recommand the CVS-like solution
documented at

  http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrQuickStartForEmacsDevs

This is not a fancy as a true DVCS-style workflow, but as far as I can
tell it has the massive advantage that VC Just Works (tm).
