Bug Description
Rather than just being a stand alone py can svn2bzr be put in as a plugin so people who use the "win32 installer" version of Bzr can just execute svn2bzr without having to install python and the bzr libs seperately?

+1 on this one. I don't know how much work would it would be to turn it into a plugin though.
I'd also like to see a better description distinguishing svn2bzr from bzr-svn's `svn-import` command. Through trial and error, I've discovered that the biggest (positive) difference for me is that svn2bzr conserves svn's revision numbers in a one-to-one fashion. That is, svn revno 1 turns into bzr revno 1. bzr-svn's `svn-import` command on the other hand converts svn revno 1 into bzr revno 2, svn revno 2 becomes bzr revno 3, and so on all the way up to the last rev. Very annoying. At least, this is what I've noticed for my own simple branchless svn repos. The other differences are that `svn-import` uses the non-default richroot file format, and it maintains references to the original svn repo with a separate svn revno field displayed by `bzr log`, not something I particularly want when trying to make a clean break from svn.
