As long as 'fast' is not a misnomer.  This is a major hassle for
Subversion users who want to achieve the same - the dumping/loading
process on large repos can take an insufferably long time and the dump
format is extremely verbose to keep it simple (full-texts, not
deltas).  Providing this filtering capability lower down has been
requested repeatedly in the Subversion project for a good 5+ years,
I'd hate to see the same in-limbo feature request spring up in Bazaar.
That said, the solution doesn't need to be in the main tool but it
would be helpful if it were a repo-repo transfer of filtered content
rather than an intermediate format with a high overhead.
