Hi Nathan,

OK that's a fair point so I'll draft something for inclusion.

I think we should pick one method, there have been a lot of
suggestions that our processes are confusing. I favour the diff but
that's how we worked using svn (if you see what I mean) so there may
be reasons to promote bundle that outweigh this.

I'm really not sure from reading those pages, so I've cc'd Emma as the
resident BZR guru.
