Other than the issues already mentioned, there's also the fact that
Bazaar developpers discourage its use and are not very interested in
making it work right.  So, among other things, this will tend to remerge
things that were already merged and then create spurious conflicts.
It may get confused in other ways as well, I just know that the few
times I tried to use it, I quickly got sufficiently annoyed that
I consider it basically unusable.
