windows support

[Brett Calcott]

Hi,

I've just started looking at bzr, and I like what I see. I use windows 
on my laptop, though I've worked on unix and linux. I'm a reasonably 
experienced python programmer. I write everything in python, plus a 
little boost-python for speed. I've used CVS, SVN, Clearcase (gag!) and 
and something I forget the name of (Code-??) on unix.

I have a few questions, if people have the time to answer at this time 
of the year :)

1. Is there an official windows branch that is kept up to date with the 
mainline? A have downloaded the 0.6.2 version, and it works fine -- but 
I see there is lots of new stuff going on I'd like to get my hands on.

2. Is there a faster way to get a branch that using http. Branching 
takes an awful long time (> 1hr). I'm in Australia, if that makes a 
difference.

3. How do I simply check out an older version of a file(s) from a local 
branch?

Cheers,
Brett
