The way I do it is 'bzr branch lp:inkscape' to make my local copy and then I work out of that copy.

Do 'bzr pull' when you want to update (like svn up).

Then 'bzr commit -m "message"' to commit locally, and finally 'bzr push' when you want to push it to trunk.

Cheers,
Josh

Probably a stupid question, but can I do updates and commits without
creating a "branch"?

I'm not against branches in principle, but with SVN I was doing
compulsive updates many times a day. Now, whenever everything changes,
I must commit someone's updates into my branch, and think up a commit
message for that, even if I have no idea what those changes were.
That's a bit much for me, frankly.

Also, if I do a commit of merge changes into my branch, then do some
changes of my own, and then push it all to the trunk - will my merge
commits be pushed as well? If not why?
