If you have bzr-git installed, you can simply say "bzr merge" or "bzr pull". IOW, that plugin makes git repositories first-class bzr citizens (except that "bzr push" doesn't work yet, so you can only use the git repo in read-only mode). I actually use this to track several git repositories, and my experience is very good, with a single exception: the original "bzr branch" command is painfully slow for repositories with many revisions, because the step that computes bzr metadata from git takes a very long time (I filed a bug report about that).
