XXX Tim, please could you fill this in? Should include: When bugs are being fixed in bazaar branches, and those branches
are registered in launchpad, the bugs and branches can be linked.

 * screenshot of branch listing with bug badges (please only show one badge per branch ;-))
 * sample URL or two which show a bug with branches, and a branch with bugs, and cutouts of the relevant parts of those pages
This link is indicated in the branch and bug listings as badges.
The badges give a quick indication that someone has code that intends to fix
a particular bug, and that this information is easily shown in the general
bug and branch listings.

Preserve this bit, which is the lead into the next section: The branch listing for the beagle project is a good example. The badge
is a grey bug. This badge is hyperlinked to the actual bug page.

The bug listing shows the branch badges. Branch badges are small bazaar icons,
and these are also hyperlinked to the branch page.

The bug branch links have a status, and a whiteboard. The status indicates
the progress of the fix, and the whiteboard can contain any plain text that may
be used to convey more specific information.

This link is indicated in the branch and bug listings as badges. The badges give a quick indication that someone has code that intends to fix a particular bug, and that this information is easily shown in the general bug and branch listings.

Any person can have multiple branches of code for a project, and teams can have multiple branches too. How does one know which branch to use when starting new work? For this, we have major branches in the project, which we call "Series", and that's what we will [:ReviewersGuide/ProductSeries:show you next].
