So maybe this gets at my earlier question about rebase being cultural vs. technology, and the response about bzr having a strong sense of mainline where hg doesn't. I don't use the bzr-bisect plugin too much, but I think by default it only follows commits on the main line, unless a bisect point is identified within a merge (i.e. side) line. So again, those merged intermediate changes are mostly ignored until they're needed. -Barry
