Has anyone thought of using SubVersion? It offers cheap branches, a nice and easy-to-use UI under Windows (TortoiseSVN) und much more. The UI can handle file-based repositories on local/network drives as well as through URL. I use it for several years now for all of our projects and it never let me down.

As far as I remember, branch in bazaar is just a full copy of repository, so branches are using not so often like in git. git also has much more additional tools, including GUI - like gitk. But in the same time git has problems with Windows. But we have problems with bazaar when used UTF-8 comments in russian --- it made the python to produce some exception and the whole repository became inaccessible on Windows.
