Wow. 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).
