I'm really sorry that I haven't made any more progress on this front. I
just graduated, and that took up a much larger amount of time than I
would have guessed (which is probably why I hadn't graduated earlier :).
I have been experimenting with several ways of getting a better bzr
repository for Emacs, but I just haven't had time to track down the bugs
in the import process that I have run into.
Of course, if anyone else is interested in taking a crack that this
problem I would certainly appreciate the help :).

bzr.notengoamigos.org is pretty well hosted. If anyone has problems
updating their branches form there I would be interested in hearing
about it. That's especially true if you start from one of the pre-made
bzr repositories that I have at the site.
I have seen problems with updates if the branch the person is updating
from gets changed, but that shouldn't be a problem if you aren't pulling
down all 100,000 changesets.
