The instructions on these pages are certain to be frustrating for a newbie:

There is no branch named "devel". There is no obvious way to learn the
names of available branches. Should we guess?

the web-based repository browser

What does that even mean? Is it some sort of mangled allusion to 'bzr
init' versus 'bzr init-repository'? It doesn't work as written since
'emacs' is not a branch.
