By default, they do. You must use a flag to get a checkout with no history.

Sure, and so can bzr. But using a checkout of the branch head means: - - No one has to do anything special to provide a working tree of a given revision - - I can still run any readonly operations I desire - - I can update to the latest version of bzr.dev with one command.
