I am lacking some fundamental understanding here. Lets have 2 devs. A and B, on two machines. A sets up a stack, then, goes 
gt submit --stack
I would expect this stack is stored on app.graphite.com somehow.. I can see it there. B then does gt sync. B has the same branches, but has not explicitlly stacked them. I would expect that B’s stack now shows the branches as stacked.. I mean, if stacks are updated, everyone with that stack needs to be updated.. What am I missing??

Hey Ed! 
gt sync
only updates branches that are already tracked by gt on the local machine. ie doesn't automatically adopt branches from remote just because they exist as a stack on Graphite's server. So for Dev B's scenario: 1. If B already has the branches tracked in gt (e.g., B previously ran 
gt track
or 
gt get
to pull them, then 
gt sync
will pull down the latest remote state. 2. If B just has the raw git branches (fetched via 
git fetch
/ 
git pull
but never tracked in local gt) — then gt doesn't know about them yet. B would need to run 
gt track
to tell gt "hey, these branches are part of a stack" before 
gt sync
will manage them. Alternatively, 
gt get <branch-name>
would fetch and track a specific branch (and its stack) from remote.
