Switching to Bazaar (bzr)

Twas brillig at 11:05:00 20.12.2008 UTC-08 when mkanat at bugzilla.org did gyre and gimble:

 MK> Have you used it lately?

I do it every year after I hear "have you tried it lately?" again :)

 MK> It's been perfectly fine for me, for quite some time now--since
 MK> 1.0, really, which was 10 major releases ago.  Try some of the
 MK> latest releases.

1.10 is better than 1.5 I tested several days ago. Still 10min/2min for
remote/local cloning of whole Python repo, but it is tolerable (it was
25min/6min for 1.5). Painful (hg: 3min/13sec, git: 4.5min/10sec), but
tolerable.
