You appear to be comparing completely different things. If you want to do a
checkout with bzr:

$ bzr co http://url/to/some-project/trunk some-project
$ cd some-project
$ ./configure
$ make

If you want to have a branch with bzr:

$ bzr branch http://url/to/some-project/trunk some-project
$ cd some-project
$ ./configure
$ make

Same.
