Bug Description
mars says:
" Neither the 'Code' help popup nor the wiki Hosted Branch pages actually tell me if I should/have to register a branch before pushing to Launchpad.
I can see one mention of 'register' in the first sentence of https:/
I at least expected a sentence in the main body content, below the header, that says "You need to register a branch if you want to link bugs or blueprints to it.""

Here is little drama that played out in my head:
I wanted to upload a branch for the Zope3 project with some of my custom work in it. I went to the Zope3 project page, then went to the "Code" tab, expecting.... ? Code?
I have very little info on that page - nothing that looks like branches, so I looked at the Actions, and see "Register branch" - ah ha! Maybe there I will find out how my Zope3 branch can be linked with the project!
So I am on the "Register a Branch" page - ok, do I have to do this? Is "Registering a Branch for this project" the same as "Uploading a Branch for this project"? I don't know. And *that* is where I got confused.
Does the "Help" popup say? No. Does the "Help" popup take me to the nice long wiki page explaing where I am, and what I am supposed to do here? No.
Ok, I have to find the Wiki pages link (The FAQ link at the bottom maybe? I'll try it). I see a search field, so I search the wiki for "register branch". Nothing? Ok, there is a "Find a Page" link in the Actions box, I'll try that (again). Ah, Full Text Search, that brings back something. And so on...
