I'll have to try using this, since I just found out today that git-bzr no 
longer works due to a recent commit (haven't tracked down which yet):

  11:49:57 107000/108016 commits exported at 348/minute
  11:56:34 108000/108016 commits exported at 344/minute
  fatal: Expected committer but didn't get one
  fast-import: dumping crash report to .git/fast_import_crash_98213
  bzr: broken pipe

When git-bzr dies, it dies hard and fast without much chance of recovery.  So, 
guess I'll have to live with a mirror that lags slightly behind my bzr tree...

Can someone point me to the e-mail thread where we chose Bazaar?  Emacs is the 
only project I work on that uses it, and it's been a pretty unpleasant 
experience thus far.

Thanks, John
