Simple copy is enough, rsync is just a fast way to make a simple copy.
The .bzr directory does not need to be listed, but must be accessible. I
haven't checked, but it sounds like your branch will be published
correctly already. You can test, by doing 'bzr log
http://bzr.onembedding.com/bzw-1/' - if that works, its pretty sure that
your branch is published correctly.

I'm not clear here : yes diff3 is needed? Or yes our python diff3 means
that external diff3 is not needed ?

I put this in pause() in the testhashcache.py file when I merged parts
of your original patch, though I didn't include cygwin in the platforms
list.
