Oh, and one more *serious* thing to watch out for.

Neither bzrtools push, nor my rpush/rpull lock the branches. They really
are not designed for shared branches.
Two people running (r)push at the same time can corrupt the remote
repository.

This is not true with the built-in push over sftp or on the local
filesystem. (Though if one person is pushing over sftp and the other
over the local filesystem you can get corruption since they lock
differently).

If you ever ran into remote branch corruption, you could just run "bzr
rpush" again. Since it is really just trying to create an exact copy of
the local branch. But someone's changes would be lost.
'bzr push' is designed to lock the remote tree, and it should fail to
push if the remote tree is already locked.
