Yes please, I would like to take a look, thanks.

Yes, I saw some of the work that had been done, and posts on ML.

I am just not sure how efficiently and reliably branches work in bzr
(I've managed to screw up some of my work once with bzr), and I am not
sure how reliable are git mirrors. I quite like git, however there is a
cost of troubles with integration with bzr. On other hand I find forking
<-> merging unacceptable. I will try to mock something up, in the
meantime.

BTW: If somebody would like to enlighten me on how reliably mirrored git
works with the Emacs source tree, I would be grateful. Thanks.
