Bzr's docs are really good but they're still incomplete. There are a lot of really useful features that are still undocumented, or at least not documented in a place that's easy to find.

I've been so impressed with what I've read thus that that I'm toying
with switching over. It looks like bze can use an SVN back-end.

The bzr-svn tool is fantastic. A lot of projects still use svn as their vcs, with bzr-svn you can transparently interact with them, but use a vcs that actually makes sense, and still take advantage of the very powerful branching/merging.

And it doesn't look like
it works with ViewVC, though it does seem to have a few of its own at
http://bazaar-vcs.org/WebInterface.

bzr has its own, it's called LoggerHead and it's pretty good. Another great part of bzr is its tight integration with launchpad, which is by far the best bug tracker/project management tool out there. Some freetards will yell about it not being foss, but it's being opened piece by piece anyway. I highly reccomend giving bzr a shot, MySql switched over to bzr + launchpad and from what I hear they're loving it. I've used bzr, git, svn, cvs, and, hg. bzr is by far my favourite.
