I think I've found an acceptable work flow for dealing with smaller bug
reports now.

First list the bugs, of course:

 8834 minor                [Drew Adams             ] 24.0.50; doc string of `I
 8858 minor                [Drew Adams             ] 24.0.50; duplicate defali

The ones that are totally unhandled show up in red, so I select one of
those with `RET', and read the report.

Then I fix the error, run "bzr update" in the shell, write the
ChangeLog, wait for the "bzr update" to finish, save the ChangeLog, `M-x
vc-dir RET', check in (wait wait wait wait), `F' the message, and then
`C done RET' to mark the bug as fixed and closed.

Using two Emacsen to check in was more work, since I had to find where I
was in the tree, and so on.

So if the check-in was asynchronous, as in the good old days, it'd be
mostly annoyance-free.  :-)
