I found it misleading, because it implied that commits where the tree
and stacked branch were co-located would work, and they do not. It
implied a behavioural difference based on whether the branch and tree
were co-located, and those are very rare. It implied that
TreeTransform.commit would work, and it does not.

The only reason why commit via a bound branch works is because it's
pushing, not committing, to the stacked branch. Perhaps "cannot commit
directly to a stacked branch"?
