  bzr branch http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs

and

  cd emacs
  bzr pull

does not seem "much more complicated". That it works right now or not
is unrelated, and just transitory (apparently it works now if you use
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/emacs-23).

Why do you use --stacked?

Why do you use --lightweight?

Define "we". Developers have gained the possibility of having all the
tools of a VCS for their local developments. Search google for the
differences between centralized and distributed VCS.
