+junk is special in that everyone has one, and it is the "not associated with a
project" project.

Otherwise you would have a project name. Like:

bzr push bzr+ssh://jameinel@bazaar.launchpad.net/~jameinel/bzr/my-bzr-branch

The general syntax is:

bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~USER_OR_GROUP/PROJECT/BRANCHNAME

USER_OR_GROUP allows groups to share branches. Which works well for "mainline"
since then multiple people can update it. (~bzr/bzr-gtk/trunk,
~bzr/bzr-register/trunk, etc).

They also map into launchpad pages with

https://launchpad.net/~USER_OR_GROUP
or
https://launchpad.net/PROJECT

https://code.launchpad.net/~USER_OR_GROUP/PROJECT/BRANCHNAME

Probably a bit too much detail for this tutorial, though.


Maybe a footnote about "+junk" ?
