Well, it seems that maybe it has gotten farther this time; now it's
actually copying revisions, though that's happening pretty slowly and
doesn't appear to be streaming from the server or anything, jumping
between copying @ 0kB/s and as much as 300kB/s.  The traffic seems to
happen between revisions, so it seems like it's getting diffs between
the revisions or something.  I suppose Subversion probably doesn't
really make it possible to do bulk transfers of anything.  :-/

It says now that it only needs 131,743 revisions.  It's on 1,606 now,
and it has been running for an hour and 20 minutes now.  Also, the bzr
directory is actually growing, whereas before after I think four hours
or so, it was holding steady at 25 MB; it's at 100 MB now, though there
aren't any branches visible yet.

(Well, I wrote that last ¶ about 7 minutes ago, and it's gone up to
revision 1,733.)  Apparently, whatever it is doing is working much more
efficiently than what it was doing before I upgraded subvertpy.

I'd ask about getting it (subvertpy) updated in Jaunty, but I have
become a bit disenchanted with trying to file bugs on Ubuntu anymore.
