Maybe I missed something, reading and re-reading both the User Guide
and the User Reference, but I didn't find that information there.
There's a short description of 3 workflows here:

  http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr.2.0/en/user-guide/bazaar_workflows.html

and in a few other pages in the User Guide, but there's no information
whatsoever about advantages and disadvantages of each possible setup.
For example, the issue that triggered this thread -- the need to
commit twice -- is never mentioned explicitly as an ``annoyance''.

And, of course, the upstream docs, being general and generic, can
never be focused enough for the Emacs project.
