Simplified Tutorial

This is a very useful document! A few comments/questions:


================================================

In the last paragraph, does "shared" have the meaning of "shared by
several users" or "shared because there are several branches". If the
later, why/how does that relate to  the cvs/svn-like usage.



> Creating a centralized shared storage

I have several doubts:

- If I understand correctly, the "recipe" is for a directory that
doesn't yet exist

- If /path/to/repo exists and has files already, shouldn't we use "bzr
init" followed  by "bzr add"?





Best,
