IIRC, the package directory on Savannah is not a bzr branch.

But anyway, what it means is that for Bazaar the current directory is 
the working branch, not the directory you supply as an argument. E.g.

$ cd ~/gns/code/
$ ls
xulrunner
$ bzr add xulrunner
bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "/home/pitof/gns/code/".
$ cd xulrunner
$ bzr add *
$

If ~/gns/code/ was a branch of its own then the third command would have 
added xulrunner to the "code" branch instead of putting xulrunner in its 
own branch.

I don't remember it being explained on the list.

I also wrote a page [1] once, equally in need of some editing. :) While 
you're learning this process, please add the things you learn to either 
of those pages, so that others can benefit from it. I'll spend some time 
on them myself too when/if I find some spare minutes. Both pages should 
eventually be merged.
