This would be the ideal case and very, very convenient. I hope there will be such a mirror [on savannah if possible], but I'm not sure how it would handle merge failures, assuming that this sync script runs periodically and without user intervention. The more frequently the git mirror is updated, the less likely it is that a git->bzr merge fails. If it does fail, I'm not sure how to handle it well. That's why I didn't pursue the idea so far.
