I'm new to bazaar and are currently trying to setup a central repository
for use in a team with distributed repositories. I am following the
guide "Team collaboration, distributed style":
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr.dev/en/user-
guide/distributed_intro.html
I have realised that this guide expects me to have already completed
some steps already, and I suspect these steps to be those that are
described in the "Team collaboration, central style -> Starting a
central branch" guide. I feel quite uncertain on these conclusions, as
they are not explicitly stated by any of the guides, and because it
feels weird that I have to follow steps from the guide on centralised
development when I want to do distributed development.

My suggestion is to add to the start of each guide a list of links to
procedures that has to be completed beforehand.

Regarding my current problem, I filed a question here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+question/129299 and got an answer,
but I'm still not sure whether I'm doing it the recommended way. I'm
still not sure what the prerequisites to the to the "Team collaboration,
distributed style"-guide are.
