Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know about a new plugin I've been working on,
called "bzr-pipeline".

It helps when working on a series of changes that build on one another.
 It's a similar basic concept to looms, but

1. It uses branches rather than threads, and these branches can
   intermingle with your regular branches.
2. It does not version the state of the pipeline (e.g. loom record)
3. Each branch (pipe) in the pipeline also has a shelf associated with
   it, where uncommitted changes can be placed.

To get started with bzr-pipeline, do

$ bzr branch lp:bzr-pipeline ~/.bazaar/plugins/pipeline

Then look at the docs:
$ bzr help pipeline

It's in beta right now.  Please report any bugs you encounter.  A few
are already known:
