I started a new 'bzr branch' this morning, when I got to the office,
using the nosmart option.  It's been running for more than an hour now,
it has transferred 500 MB of data, and all this on a laptop running
Ubuntu 10.10 LTS with ample free disk space and connected to the very
fast internal network of Google.

This is a *lot* of data for something that is supposed to fetch only the
trunk of Emacs.  It took 3989.501 real / 581.270 user / 15.990 sys
seconds to fetch everything and the resulting .bzr/ directory contains
233 MB of data:

  gkeramidas@gkeramidas-glaptop:~/bzr/trunk$ du -sh .bzr/
  233M    .bzr/

This is not very fast, but I'll keep using the bzr branch to see how
future updates go.
