Merge lp:~andrea.corbellini/launchpad/stacked-branch-by-default into lp:launchpad/db-devel

utilities/rocketfuel-branch now creates stacked branches by default (with ``bzr branch --stacked source dest``).
This makes branching faster and reduces the size of the new branch.

Hi Andrea,

A nice change!

Don't the rocketfuel scripts create a shared repository?

If so, using stacked branches gives absolutely nothing.

Yes, you are right. Running some tests I've seen that creating stacked branches in a shared repo is also a bit slower.

Stacked branches in a shared repo is not a good idea.
