I was hoping that all that will remain outsourced, as it is now. I've had plenty of bad experiences with importing (CVS mostly) into bzr; perhaps the route bzr->git is easier, but a working and safe two-way sync.. .

For this reason I was wondering if the patch-bundle route would be a clean way to push stuff to bzr.
