One more comment about the Wiki page: The procedures and the workflow
it recommends don't have to be bug-for-bug compatible with the bzr
equivalents.  That's because the bzr stuff was to some degree
influenced by bzr's weaknesses and misfeatures.  For example, IIRC the
original page suggested to make the trunk mirror branch treeless, but
then we changed that because something, I don't remember what exactly,
didn't work in such branches.

So if git offers better methods, there's no reason to blindly stick to
what we've been doing with bzr, provided that the important traits are
preserved.
