The question is then: How would one reliably convert a Bzr branch to git? One branch is enough for me, but we're talking >100k revisions, so if the procedure involves Bzr tools, it will take longer then is practicable.
Also, my impression is that not many people are doing this, because the fast-export/import combination hasn't seen a lot of development activity. I'm a bit wary to set up my project in git when I don't just need to convert once, but in future convert and merge pretty much every day... (The upstream project is going to use Bzr, while I am trying to see if Git is an option for me downstream.)
