Credit also goes to Thomas Wouters who sprinted with me at Pycon on  
this.

We actually started with branches that Andrew Bennetts made, I believe  
with bzr-svn, though I don't know the details.  We're running a  
continuous update mirror on one of Thomas's machines.  I believe it's  
updating every 15 minutes from the svn master using bzr-svn, and then  
pushing to the branches on code.python.org.

I don't know much about what Andrew had to go through to get the  
original branches done.
