\marginnote{To push \emph{non-trunk} branches to you project, use a 
\emph{complete} bzr-style URL that specifies the team, the project and the 
branch: \userinput{lp:\textasciitilde<team>/<project>/branch}. For example, I 
might want to push an experimental branch to blackbird as follows: 
\userinput{bzr push lp:\textasciitilde{}blackbird-team/blackbird/experimental}}
