OK, I see that this is on a bzr branch. But I don't know how to install it.
Is there a ppa I can subscribe to? If not, can you set one up?

Explanation: I'm actually working on this:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/reposurgeon

I tripped over this bug while trying to extend reposurgeon support to
bzr. I'd like to (a) verify this fix, and (b) finish the bzr suppport.

If you're interested, I can also tell you how to make bzr-fast-export's
version of the export stream format more closely compatible with git's.
You don't have the whitespace in the format exactly right, but I can
tell you how to fix that. (The difference shows up in my regression tests.)
