It's not working very well. I was having problems with the stable branch, so I decided to recreated the stable branch from the development one. I just tried to create a checkout of the development repository and I get the error: bzr checkout /home/antoranz/eclipse/workspace/interfaces stable/ bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 31: ordinal not in range(128) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/commands.py", line 846, in run_bzr_catch_errors return run_bzr(argv) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/commands.py", line 797, in run_bzr ret = run(*run_argv) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/commands.py", line 499, in run_argv_aliases return self.run(**all_cmd_args) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/builtins.py", line 1024, in run accelerator_tree, hardlink) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/branch.py", line 768, in create_checkout hardlink=hardlink) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/bzrdir.py", line 1260, in create_workingtree accelerator_tree=accelerator_tree, hardlink=hardlink) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/workingtree_4.py", line 1367, in initialize wt.unlock() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/workingtree_4.py", line 1131, in unlock self.flush() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/workingtree_4.py", line 291, in flush self.current_dirstate().save() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/dirstate.py", line 2066, in save self._state_file.writelines(self.get_lines()) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/dirstate.py", line 1591, in get_lines return self._get_output_lines(lines) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/dirstate.py", line 1928, in _get_output_lines inventory_text = '\0\n\0'.join(lines) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 31: ordinal not in range(128) bzr 1.5 on python 2.5.2 (linux2) arguments: ['/usr/bin/bzr', 'checkout', '/home/antoranz/eclipse/workspace/interfaces', 'stable/'] encoding: 'UTF-8', fsenc: 'UTF-8', lang: 'es_CO.UTF-8' plugins: gtk /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/plugins/gtk [0.93.0] launchpad /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib/plugins/launchpad [unknown] *** Bazaar has encountered an internal error.

I made a backup of my development branch (just in case) and checked it. It seems to be ok. So I'll keep on working on it.
