+Note: Versions prior to bzr 1.2 used a slightly different algorithm.
+Some nested branches would get extra numbers (such as 1.1.1.1.1)
+rather than the simpler 3-number system.

^- Should we do this as an actual ReST footnote?

I'm not sure about this last paragraph:
+Bazaar may *seem* similar to other distributed VCS tools (like Darcs, 
Git
+and Mercurial) but it presents history differently and that encourages 
certain
+ways of working. In general, if you follow the advice given earlier - 
organise
+your work in branches and use merge to collaborate - you'll find Bazaar
+generally does what you expect.
+
+In coming chapters, we examine various ways of using Bazaar beginning 
with
+the simplest: using Bazaar for personal projects.

But overall, I think this is beneficial to include. I don't know if Ian 
was waiting for Robert's specific feedback, though.
