I found out about this support last week, so as you can imagine I immediately
jumped on it and cloned the Emacs BZR repository (which took a good long
while, but did succeed).
The resulting repository could not be updated (using git-fetch). At first it
kept timing out trying to communicate with the remote bazaar server. Then, it
started giving me an exception about "object 000000000 not existing", or
something like that. I was never able to get the repository to function again
after that and deleted it.
So, I think this is a great idea, but I'm not sure it's any more ready for
prime-time than the old git-bzr machinery was.
John
