Ahh, I didn't know the memory issue was a blocker for you. I still need
to look into shallow branching support for bzr-svn; that should
hopefully make the memory issues go away even when using unpatched
subversion bindings.

Well, nearly all *proprietary* repositories have some form of
authentication, but fair enough, it is certainly a blocker for a lot of
people.

It's certainly useful to hear about what is blocking people from using
Bazaar or Subversion. I'm a bit curious about your use case though; what 
would be the advantage of using bzr with bzr-svn to your colleagues if you're 
not migrating the server to Bazaar? Is there a particular Bazaar feature that 
you'd like to be able to use?

Cheers,
