I agree it is confusing.

We currently are using a variation of Centralized:
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr.dev/en/user-guide/bazaar_workflows.html#centralized

Except that we maintain a 'stable' branch that only a few people can
commit into. 

Originally we tried the Human Gatekeeper approach but this didn't work
very well because people didn't respond to Merge Requests.  Maybe the
project was too young?

I do not think that our Workflow is the problem.  

If you actually browse the repository you'll see:
==============================================

This revision was merged to the branch mainline in revision 366.
Revision ID: edu@starforge-20100104101835-j4lebhbxry7pa7ek

update of extraction module
=======================================================
So you can see that there is a unique Revision ID:
However these aren't sent in the emails.  The ones in the emails are the
Rev IDs from the local user's commit.  

One thing came to mind was that using bzr merge was incorrect to update
my local copy.  I should use bzr update.  However, when I use bzr update
I always get "Tree is up to date at revision <local revision #>

If I use bzr update lp:oship I get:
bzr: ERROR: No WorkingTree exists for "bzr
+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~oship-dev/oship/main/".

It doesn't matter which directory I am in either. 

But then of course the mini-tutorial
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/latest/en/mini-tutorial/index.html#updating-your-branch-from-the-main-branch 
says to use bzr merge

I've searched the site and the docs and haven't seen anything about
this. Nor does there seem to be anyway to configure how those emails are
sent.  

I suggest that you post a question (Answer) in the 
Launchpad Bazaar Integration section and see if we can get an answer to
this. https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad-code 
 
Cheers,
Tim
