Large source tree performance

[Nicholas Allen]

I think it would be a good idea to convert Linux repository to bzr one 
if possible using tailor or something. We would then have a repository 
with many revisions and history that we could test performance of bzr on 
and perhaps post updates on how it is improving.

Anyone think this would be a good idea? If so, I could probably look at 
trying to convert it but not sure if that is possible with git....
