This is almost right and I can see there is some confusion, so here's
son technical info in the midst of this, err, "discussion" :-)

If you want to send a regular style patch

bk export -tpatch -r+ # send most recent changeset
bk import -tpatch # accept regular patch

If you want to send BK style patches

bk send user@host.com
bk receive

NOTE! bk send will send *everything* it has not already sent to that
email address, i.e., the whole tree. See the "bk help send" docs for
info on how to tell BK that the user already has part of the tree.
