bzr branch lp:bzr-service

I prepared one in advance. :)

The C one isn't terribly fancy, but you can have the front end in python
if you want. The overhead is the 'import bzrlib and all other libs'.

It really does effect the 'snappiness' of the command line. I just
haven't really pursued it because getting it properly cross platform is
a bit of a pain. And even worse is having to request info from the user.
