Please be more specific than "doesn't work".  Does your bzr install
claim the option does not exist, or does it fail to work correctly?

I am using bzr.dev, revno 3542, and it certainly is present here.

$ bzr help push
Purpose: Update a mirror of this branch.
Usage:   bzr push [LOCATION]

Options:
  -v, --verbose         Display more information.
  --remember            Remember the specified location as a default.
  --reference=ARG       Create a stacked branch that refers to another
branch
                        for the commit history. Only the work not present in
                        the referenced branch is included in the branch
                        created.

If you're saying the option isn't present in bzr.dev, I think you're
hallucinating.  Perhaps you're not running the copy of bzr that you
think you are.
