In all the docs I've read, there's never been much of a separation
between branches and checked-out working copies, and that's caused me a
lot of confusion.

Ah. That will be why my setup doesn't match the wiki one any more. ;-)

My mistake was I tried to move my changes from "quickfixes" to "trunk"
using "bzr merge". 'bzr help merge' doesn't say what is merged with what
where, sadly.
I think what I really want is 'bzr push'. Is this correct? The
documentation for 'bzr push' is not helpful.
