I agree with the original question. You're doing it wrong to create a
brand new branch for each revision. The normal way is to have a trunk
which then branches out for each release; creating those branches are
useful in case you need to do bugfixes for old releases.

And you can also create an experimental branch if changes are too
disruptive even for trunk, but this branch should be merged in once it
works better.

Keeping all of the history in your trunk branch is very useful to easily
see who made what changes and when they were made. With your style, it
takes a lot of work digging up old branches to try to figure it out.
Also, there is a jump between branches where changes were made in
between and that's very disruptive.

Finally, you've advised a few people in these Answers to check out your
trunk branch. As this individual found out, whenever you change trunk
like you do, bzr doesn't have any clue what's going on and it's very
disruptive to anyone trying to use trunk.
