Sprints are always fun. :)

Tests should work on Windows, which is yet another reason to use the
Bazaar test infrastructure. :)

Yep, the Bazaar test infrastructure will handle all of the cleanup for
you.

Well, the standard way would be to make the fixes in the same branch
and then use 'bzr send' (as I assume you did before).  This will
produce a merge directive which contains the full patch between the
most recent revision in your branch and bzr.dev, as well as a bundle of
revisions so other bzr users can recreate your branch.
