This brings up an interesting question about workflow.

I've found that with bzr, I have the urge to create a separate branch  
for every feature I'm hacking on, since they're so cheap.  It may  
take a 5-10 revisions before I'm done, and once it's merged into  
someone else's branch, my overwhelming urge is to erase my branch...  
since the revisions are all integrated into a "real" branch.

Does anyone else work this way?  Is it bad?  Are there potential  
problems with it?

I posted my "bzr.robey" branch to launchpad, since it's kind of an  
experiment for me to keep a branch around long-term.  But, for  
example, the branch I recently made for "unit testing sftp without  
using ssh" has been integrated elsewhere now and my fingers are  
already twitching, ready to "rm -r" it. :)
