I use bzr daily, on several different machines and systems, and my experience is nowhere near that of yours. I wonder whether this is based on recent experience or on something that is old enough to require revisiting, perhaps with newer versions of the bzr client. I also wonder whether we can offer you (and others) some sort of simple cookbook that would make your life with bzr easier, to the degree that you will decide to contribute to Emacs regardless. I'm forced to use git in several projects to which I contribute, and as much as I dislike it, I've learned a few simple skills that let me continue my contribution. I don't think a casual contributor needs to know more than a small number of bzr commands. Maybe we can help you with that.
