Well, I think we merge bzr.dev => dirstate when we feel it needs it. I
realize that is rather loose.

But our policy on dirstate has only really stabilized recently.
Basically, we avoid stepping on each other's toes because we all use a
checkout. And we just coordinate over IRC.

The branch itself is owned by the Bazaar group, so you should actually
have direct commit rights on it.

At first I thought you were asking for me to merge your changes into
bzr.dev, and it didn't make sense.

This all may be moot if dirstate gets merged into bzr.dev by tomorrow.

But certainly, I'll make sure any win32 fixes you land in bzr.dev get
merged into dirstate.
