Knits are usable now. The format is finalized, and reportedly
considerably faster over slow networks than weaves. I'll remove that
from the help text.
You can make a new branch in the knit format with
bzr init --format knit
and upgrade an existing branch by either init and then pulling into a
new branch, or by running 'bzr upgrade --format knit' in place.
