I've been using a bzr branch for my own local branch and basically use bzr for everything except "commit to trunk", ever since the bzr.notengoamigos.org mirror was setup. Performance of bzr seems OK for my use nowadays. I.e. we could switch to bzr "any time". The main hurdle for now is that the bzr.notengoamigos.org itself is not quite good enough and lacks all the merge info from Miles's Arch mirror (it also lacks the file-move info). So a new conversion of the CVS repository to bzr is needed that will fix those problem. We could switch to bzr as soon as this is done. As for the speed of bzr.notengoamigos.org, I haven't noticed it being slow (but then again I update every day or so, and usually at times when I do other things anyway). But there's a copy of that branch up on http://arch.savannah.gnu.org/archives/emacs/bzr/trunk, which any member of the "emacs" group can update via sftp. Stefan
