Sorry that this isn't in-thread, I'm not on the list so my mail client
is not going to add the right header.

In terms of speed, there are patches for bzr 0.91 that increase network
performance by a factor of 7, and there is a new disk format in the
works that is increasing local performance too (by a factor of 2-6 in
some tests).

In terms of how to structure your branches and trees, bzr gives you the
ability to merge changes between branches, not between files in a single
branch.

So any documents you want to merge between should be in separate
branches of the same overall project.

So I'd be thinking that there is a branch for each release, so you can
do point releases etc. That seems straightforward to me.

Beyond that, you could have a single project with all the kde/gnome/xfce
docs in it. Or you could have 3 separate mini-projects, one with kde,
one with gnome etc. Are there common documents between these?
