You get the ChangeLog files, and if you are connected to the parent
branch (either on a local disk or a remote host), you can use bzr to
get the log and other information about history (eg, diffs) from the
parent branch.  This caveat about being connected is why I recommend
that core developers use branches, at least until they decide they
need to optimize space or something.

No, AFAIK -- it needs to talk to the parent branch.  That's why it's
"lightweight".
