dpush not push to the Git repository?

I think I had sort of inferred this to be the case, and it strikes me as
very sensible "dog fooding".  I guess it might be worth making this more
explicit on the webpage, and especially remove the (Mirror) annotations,
which I think is where my confusion came from (though I appreciate that
this is my problem).

The ultimate integration test :-)

I guess this is a Launchpad specific use of the term mirror in that it
is not manual but automated in some way, i.e. it is a "symbolic link"
rather than a push or pull from another branch?

OK so I guess bzr-cvs and bzr-git have conflicts.  As you say removing
bzr-cvs cures my problem.

Can I suggest then that all Bazaar documentation should avoid referring
to edge:  the documentation should always refer to the stable version of
everything and not experimental versions -- except perhaps in the case
of experimental add-ons.

Outcome:  I shall switch to using the Bazaar branch of Dulwich as my
compilation source.  Who needs Git ;-)
