Thank you very much for putting this together. It looks like a good
guide and I hope it's helpful to the Emacs developers in coming up to
speed with their new VCS.

The first part that confused me is this:

    When the download completes, Bazaar Explorer will open a new page
    with a title of trunk [emacs]. Close the Branch dialog.

What is a “new page”? Is that the same as a window, or a dialogue box,
or a tab, or something else? Is it the same as “the Branch dialog”? Is
this new window the same one that I'm supposed to interact with as the
passage continues?
