It's slow and inefficient.  We've been told by Bazaar developers to
switch to bzr+ssh (a.k.a. "smart server") since day one, when we
started to complain about the slowness.

Now we will see if the smart server is indeed a solution to our
problems or part of them.  But at least Bazaar developers will no
longer have an excuse.

Sudden my foot!  It took 10 months to get there, and in the end all
that was needed was a determined sysadmin.
