Those concepts have added meaning in DVCSs. Assuming that a revision or a branch is the same for CVS and Bazaar will lead to confussion. Is like learning C++ assuming that is an extension of C or learning Spanish vocabulary thinking that your knowledge of French will make things straightforward.

I was skimming the Internet for a while and found no docs that explained the concepts without focusing on specific approaches from other tools like git or mercurial. That could only mislead the Bazaar beginner. -- Óscar
