Does this work now, btw?

I think trying to cross merge over such a long distance was just  
confusing it.  I did the following this morning:

* update bzr.dev
* merge bzr.dev -> my sftp branch
* update jam-integration
* merge my sftp branch into jam-integration

This time no conflicts, and a short merge.  It looks like it worked  
against jam-integration, so I have confidence that if you try again,  
this time it'll work:

selftest on jam-integration: 320 seconds
selftest on bzr.dev.sftp: 191 seconds
selftest on jam-integration after merge: 186 seconds

(This is on my laptop, disconnected, while playing loud music.   
You'll get better times.) :)

I've updated my "bzr.dev.sftp" branch at <http://www.lag.net/~robey/ 
bzr.dev.sftp> with the bzr.dev merge.
