I'm one of those sods. :)  The native subversion client seems to get 
slower and more painful with every release.  Unfortunately, it will be a 
while before we can get rid of svn on the server.

I've been unable to find a much in the way of documentation that 
discusses where to start, what are the gotchas, pitfalls, 
best-practises, etc.   The page here 
(http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrForeignBranches/Subversion) doesn't provide 
much more than low-level technical detail.

I'm a bit hesitant to start using bzr as an svn client for our company 
svn repo, without a bit more documentation to guide me.   And I have 
less time than I'd like to stumble through it myself.

Is there any good resources out there on this topic?  Or can anyone 
offer some advice on getting started?

Getting svn users on-board is a big opportunity for bzr.  If you can 
convince people to use bzr as an svn client ... then converting their 
repository to bzr is the obvious next step.  :)

Cheers,
