That is brilliant!  Thanks very much for joining in in the development.

Here is a quick recipe for setting things up.  It helps to keep a directory 
hierarchy with a directory, say "vm" for all vm versions, and subdirectories 
like vm/trunk, vm/8.1.x etc.

1. Update your trunk branch by doing:

     bzr pull

2. Initialize your new branch with the trunk snapshot:

     bzr push lp:~timX/vm/custom

   (Replace "timX" and "custom" with your chosen launchpad id and branch name.)

3. In the parent directory (vm), do

     bzr get lp:~timX/vm/custom

That should set up a vm/custom directory.  You will probably put this on your 
load-path while you work with it.  To check-in your changes, you can do

     bzr push lp:~timX/vm/custom

If you add --remember, then bzr will remember the push location.

Only you will have check-in privileges to your personal branch, while everybody 
has read access to it.

Cheers,
Uday
