Yes, but they only have to do it once per project, and most projects
have far less to convert than Emacs.

That's the idea. Once the initial conversion is complete keeping the
bzr repo in sync with the official Emacs CVS repo should be fairly
straightforward.

I happen to like bzr. I've played around with all of the major (and
most of the minor) revision control systems and I believe that bzr
strikes a nice balance between usability and functionality. It is easy
to deploy (no smart server required), it's commands are familiar to
people that have used cvs and it supports a wide variety of workflows
including a CVS/subversion style workflow with "bound" branches. It
installs easily anywhere that Python 2.4 runs, and it has a large and
talented group of hackers working on it. I would like to see Emacs move
in that direction.
On the other hand, I don't think that Emacs could go wrong with either
git (assuming that a workable Windows client could be found) or
Mercurial, and I have already successfully created a Mercurial Emacs
repository from the existing git repository. To be honest, as much as I
like bzr, Mercurial is hard to beat.
