Here's a better version that exists today:

    $ bzr cbranch db-devel schema-change
    ... hack ...
    $ bzr lp-send
    $ bzr add-pipe model-change
    ... hack ...
    $ bzr lp-send
    $ bzr add-pipe ui-change
    ... hack ...
    $ bzr lp-send

In this model, not only are you using "switch" but you're also building
on the changes you've already made.  lp-send is even smart enough to
set the dependent branch in Launchpad so that you only get the diff
from that single pipe, instead of the diff between the branch and
db-devel.

Cheers,
Paul
