Thanks for updating the commandline, by the way.

Could be, though it's an optional step.  I was assuming you already had
another copy of bzr installed.  (I assume people would decide to contribute

Actually, I use the downloaded copy as my bzr executable directly:

$ ln -s ~/bzr/bzr.dev/bzr ~/bin/bzr

I don't think installing bzr should be in the main flow of instructions,
since a lot of people will already have it installed.  Maybe something
like this:

- ---
First, get a local copy of the development mainline
::

 $ mkdir ~/bzr
 $ rsync -av bazaar-vcs.org::bazaar-ng/bzr/bzr.dev/ ~/bzr/bzr.dev

Optionally, you may install this copy of Bazaar.  See Installation_ for
details.

Now make your own branch::
