right! I did see this with this particular workflow:

bzr branch lp:bzr
git init bzr.git
cd bzr.git
bzr fast-export ../bzr | git fast-import


the weird thing is that using fastimport directly with the lp:bzr
address (not "logged in" to launchpad, so in practice via HTTP) instead
of a local copy of the directory took a very long time but worked.

So I guess there's probably a memory leak when using local files.


other than bzr-fastimport, there is also bzr-git, which seems to support
some form of pushing (bzr dpush).

There are also mentions, in different discussions, of tailor:

And finally, the git wiki mentions BzrToGit

https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Interfaces,_frontends,_and_tools#BzrToGit

However, I have not thoroughly tested these tools and I have yet to find
something that works right in all cases. If you give these tools a try,
I'd be glad to hear about your experience with them.
