emacs bzr and git-bzr

Is there a way to use one of the "git-bzr" scripts out there that's safe and consistent with the way we want to use bzr for emacs development?

git-bzr: a bidirectional git - bazaar gateway
=============================================

This script allows you to add bazaar repositories as git branches in your
git repository. After that, you can fetch the Bazaar repo, make some
changes, and push it back into Bazaar.

The ones I've looked at seem to use "git fast-export | bzr fast- import" when pushing things from git back into bzr.

It seems likely that git-bzr could be used to push back into a private bzr development branch, and then "bzr merge" used to pull in changes from there. But then it looks like I've also got to explicitly manage pulling changes down from upstream using both bzr and git commands; and if I try to push something upstream and find upstream has changed, might I have to manage the (possibly non-trivial) re-merging in bzr instead of git where I'd be more comfortable and where I already have a bunch of work in progress?

I'd be more interested in a setup where git-bzr can cause things to be pushed back into the FSF bzr repository directly, errorring out when the upstream has changed so that a new merge in needed, or ideally if I attempt a "wrong-way" (left-vs-right-parent) merge, etc. Kind of like how git-svn manages all the subversion access internally, and lets me fix things in git when necessary. Is such a workflow possible with git-bzr?
