Hey, that's true. I knew it wasn't a hard dependency, but I thought that
I wanted SFTP, but that is only for pushing *to* the server. And I
could try out bzr+ssh:// for that as well.

Aaron, could you also tell us if you would appreciate bzrtools regular
builds, and if so how often you think it would be worth it. (Though when
I have the pre-pull implemented that shouldn't matter). It is so useful
it would be good to have it up to date. Does Etienne do weekly bzrtools
builds?

Thanks,

James
