Hi Ian,

I'm both a ClearCase and a Bazaar user, but in completely different workflows/
projects.

I've started using bzr for my personal use, but I'm following only the simpliest
workflow so far (init, add, commit, push; only one main line), and I like e.g.
 * the light-weight installation of bzr (only python + bzr, no root/Administrator
   priviledges needed, no kernel module, etc.)
 * the way a `bzr push` replicates the repository to a backup location.

We're using ClearCase in the company, with several branches, mirror sites, users
of course. ClearCase is basically different in the way it integrates into the
system, especially due to the "view" concept. In CC, there's a "type" concept
which means that you can have/define different types for elements, labels,
branches, trigger, hyperlinks). Last, but not least, the major difference is the
way the "revisions" are named: every single file/directory element has it's own
version history starting on the /main branch from 0, 1, 2, ... and on the branches
e.g. /main/<branch-name>/0, /main/<branch-name>/1, etc.
