You're pretty much right on there. Bazaar is written in Python, if I'm
not mistaken. Guido uses GIT, IIRC, as he authored it. I've used BZR
and had little problem figuring it out. It feels like SVN at first but
it is different. With GIT, there are more commands to execute the same
functionality as BZR.
