Thanks.  Any ETA?  It's really annoying to wait 2-3 minutes each time
I do a simple "bzr up", and similarly for "bzr ci" to the public
repository.

Well, yes, but the quality of the Bazaar docs leaves a lot to be
desired.  E.g., I just learned (through a question posted to the
Bazaar list) that to fully revert a tree to a certain old revision,
one needs to do a "bzr update -rNNN" rather than "bzr revert -rNNN".
There's nothing about this important fact in the Bazaar User Reference
Guide.
