I think you jumped ahead :) The parent page of UploadingABranch,
<https://help.launchpad.net/Code>, contains is a link to "Bazaar in
five minutes" and a couple of other articles. There's no link to the
main Bazaar documentation page, but "Bazaar in five minutes" does link
to the Bazaar User Guide.

Having said that, you did come unstuck, so it's probably worth adding a
link from that page. The Launchpad Help site is a wiki, open to all
registered Launchpad users (I think...), so please edit away.

One other thing: please reply to all in your mail client, so that your
mail is CC'd to the list.

Gavin.
