I found out about this support last week, so as you can imagine I immediately jumped on it and cloned the Emacs BZR repository (which took a good long while, but did succeed). The resulting repository could not be updated (using git-fetch). At first it kept timing out trying to communicate with the remote bazaar server. Then, it started giving me an exception about "object 000000000 not existing", or something like that. I was never able to get the repository to function again after that and deleted it. So, I think this is a great idea, but I'm not sure it's any more ready for prime-time than the old git-bzr machinery was. John
