Hi William,

There ought to be some blog articles and doc coming soon after the
code lands. Basic usage will be very simple, e.g. to create a
local branch which is stacked on another:

  bzr branch --stacked source-url local-path

More interesting is pushing a new branch that only contains the
changes from a nominated other branch. In most cases, the branch
to stack on will be implicit. The end result will be something like:

  bzr branch trunk-url
  hack, hack, hack
  bzr push --stacked my-bug-fix-url

I hope that gives you a rough idea of how things will look at the
UI level. Pretty cool, eh!
