Thanks again, John.  I'll wait on the corrected patch, but this will be
a great improvement, and I'll probably have to make another release.

If you want to add a --fast option for os.rename, that would be fine
with me.

That's pretty neat.  You'd have to commit that as a merge, for it to
work in any sane way, and we don't have the right kind of metadata for
it to work long-term, but being able to merge Arch branches into bzr
branches would definitely be cool.

Also, run "baz2bzr test" if you don't mind.
