bzr loads any plugins which it can find in bzrlib/plugins/,
~/.bazaar/plugins/, (which can be overridden by BZR_PLUGIN_PATH).

For the above plugin, you can do:

mkdir ~/.bazaar
cd ~/.bazaar
bzr branch http://bzr.arbash-meinel.com/plugins/update-mirrors

That should create a local branch.

At that point you can run "bzr update-mirrors --help" for more information.
But basically, it works by having you supply a root directory to crawl.
So in my case, I use a cron-job which runs:

bzr update-mirrors /srv/bzr/public/mirrors/

Then if I put any new branches underneath mirrors, they will 'pull' from
their parents twice a day.

It wouldn't be very hard to have the update-mirrors script also look for
a push-location, and push those mirrors.
