You can use bzr almost identically like subversion.

co or checkout
st or status
diff
up or update

ci or checkin

all work the same.

In addition to said above "bind" mode, additionally you can operate in "unbind" mode,
which makes bzr act like a lightweight git or mercurial.
A "checkout" is "bind" mode.

References are available on the internet.
