Let me ask a naive question: what is the difference between "bzr
checkout --lightweight; bzr unbind" and "bzr branch --stacked" ?
Users coming from other VCS certainly expect checkouts to depend on
the original branch.  Shouldn't "stacked" be conflated with
"checkout", with "--local" to have "bzr ci --local" by default?
