I changed it because in actually testing the instructions, I discovered that the old instructions did not work :-). Here is the revision message from the wiki: 2009-12-07 19:47 UTC Revision 56 (KarlFogel) ==================================================================== Remove the --no-tree recommendation for the local trunk mirror. In order for merging into trunk (from local development branches) to work, there has to be a working tree in the merge destination. Otherwise you will get an error like, e.g., 'bzr: ERROR: No WorkingTree exists for "file:///home/kfogel/src/emacs/trunk/.bzr/checkout/".' -Karl
