The lightweight checkout method I mentioned seems to work without
downloading so much, and gives a working albeit slow history, using
only bzr.
I just tried it now:
; bzr checkout --lightweight http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/
; du -sk trunk/
120064 trunk/
for comparison, my normal checkout with history:
; du -sk trunk .bzr
120256 trunk
388052 .bzr
For annoying reasons, I didn't capture exactly how much bzr reported
as downloading, but it seemed to be about 200m.
Hope that helps,
*Chad
