Are these any docs on the new features on that branch? If so, where should I

The user-visible part of the changes is in the z3c.recipe.scripts recipe
contained within the zc.buildout checkout, like
zc.recipe.egg. zc.recipe.egg has no user-visible changes and works mostly as
before, providing hopefully full backwards
compatibility. z3c.recipe.scripts has the logic to work with a Python that
might have some site-packages hanging around.

Note that mixing a system python's site-packages and buildout eggs will, in my
guess, always be less stable than trying to
simply use a system Python without site-packages at all (the default behavior
of the new recipe). See the discussion in the
README file, which touches on the concerns but probably does not go far enough. That
said, for "hysterical" reasons, I'm using
the mixing approach right now myself.
Suppose I'm starting fresh, (newbie at this, but wanting stability and new
features).
How do you best use buildout to
"simply use a system Python without site-packages at all"? I'm OK with reading
the code for comments.
What to checkout?
http://svn.zope.org/zc.buildout/branches/gary-8/z3c.recipe.scripts_
or
http://svn.zope.org/zc.buildout/branches/gary-8 what rev?
Thanks,
John
