Nice! On the other hand, I would have used git...

This is indeed very ugly.

Honestly, I can't remember that I've ever used a vendor branch!
Additionally, I can't recognize the usefulness of the various entries.
For example, what's the difference between rev. 1859 and 1857? Both
appear to be empty. Are you sure that this isn't a bug in the
conversion program?

As said earlier, I prefer git, and reading the emacs mailing list,
there are (still) good reasons for that. Is there already a GNU bzr
server? I know that git is already supported at gnu.org.
