The main problem is that we have many projects in our svn repo and about
40000 revisions. This is currently impossible to convert with bzr-svn as
it has problems with memory consumption. Also I wanted the bzr branch to
be for one individual project - otherwise your working tree contains
every project that we have, all our documentation, automated tests (many
many gigabytes in size alone) and all branches of every project. I would
imagine the working tree could be 10 Gb in size so creating this working
tree for every branch you make wouldn't even be feasible (for both space
and time reasons) even if bzr-svn could convert it.
So being able to convert one project from the svn repository would be
essential unless bzr could branch only part of a directory structure in
another branch so that not every branch would have to contain all of
this in the working copy.
Tailor allowed me to convert just one of the projects but I can see why
this would be difficult for something like bzr-svn. I guess bzr really
needs the ability to branch a sub directory of another branch and not
the whole branch.
