run "bzr service" somewhere, and then a client connects to this little
server, which does the actual job. See the plugin registry on the
wiki.

Last time I checked, it had two problems:

1. The server listens to everything comming from localhost, including
   other users. I'd therefore not use it in my lab where it would mean
   giving full access to everyone in the lab to my account, and I
   wouldn't recommand using it until this is fixed.

2. External commands are launched on the server side, so "bzr commit"
   without argument will launch the text editor in the term where you
   started the server.
