bzr-git adds support for Git formats/protocols to Bazaar. Everything
should work as you would expect for a "normal" Bazaar branch, with the
exception that you can't push from a native Bazaar branchinto Git at the
moment, you can only use "bzr dpush" for that.

"bzr pull", as you would with a normal Bazaar branch.

Yes, your local branch is a "normal" bazaar branch. There's nothing
special about it.

Yes.

> 4) Can I "bzr branch" from this branch to have a local branch, and will that new branch be a "normal" bzr branch? (That's assuming the branch created by bzr-git requires some special quirks to work with it.)
Yes. This branch is a normal branch, so any branch you create from it
will be "normal" too.
