I don't know why Bzr ballooned that much when trying to branch; as far as I know it "worked fine for me", but then maybe my machine just has enough memory that I didn't notice. If you want, just grab this file: http://www.red-bean.com/kfogel/emacs-bzr-repository.tar.gz and unpack it as your emacs/ development directory. That carries you to the end of "Initialize Your quickfixes Branch" section in the instructions (you'll have to edit emacs/trunk/.bzr/branch/branch.conf to say "bob" instead of "kfogel", of course). -Karl
