| 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

| If you're saying the option isn't present in bzr.dev, I think you're

I would guess he is just noticing that with format '--pack-0.92' you
can't actually push --stacked. You have to 'bzr upgrade --development'.
Which isn't a format we guarantee to support outside of bzr.dev.
