In general this works pretty well. I'm pretty sure you've seen my
discussions about performance, and certainly that could be improved.

One issue that I found is that "bzr branch" doesn't preserve the
permissions of the files. So using bzr branch makes bzr lose it's
execute permission.

I believe this is mostly because bzr doesn't actually track file
permissions yet, is that true?

This happens both with local branching, and with remote branching.
