Dunno.  On Mac OS X, git + elisp + HFS+ slowness is just at the
threshold of perception, git itself about 0.1~0.2s for branch and most
commits.  It wouldn't need to be that fast, but 0.7s might be enough
to make me chafe.

We have a long vacation coming up at the end of the month ("Golden
Week"), maybe I'll generalize my code and try plugging bzr in in some
of my workspaces.
