added screencast for feature request push/pull current line





I really appreciate you making this video, because at least now I can
understand what the tool does. However, the attachment is much too
large for me to release this to the mailing list. I don't know whether
you can upload it to bugzilla or somewhere else, but if so then that
would be great.

cheers,
Kai
