I looked again at http://samba.org/~jelmer/dulwich/ and it is clear that
the Bazaar branch and the Mercurial repository are marked as mirrors
implying that the Git repository is the master.

It does though also say that Dulwich is developed using Dulwich which
implies that the Bazaar branch is the master not a mirror as annotated
and that the Git and Mercurial repositories are the mirrors.

I guess I am now confused -- but then this is a Monty Python sketch :-)

I guess the question is how reliably is lp:dulwich the same as
http://people.samba.org/bzr/jelmer/dulwich/trunk and
git://git.samba.org/jelmer/dulwich.git (and indeed are the github
version and the gitorious version always identical) -- whilst seemingly
a rhetorical question, there is a (minor) workflow issue here.
lp:dulwich is the most obvious public face of Dulwich, but Jelmer has
publicized http://people.samba.org/bzr/jelmer/dulwich/trunk as his
officially recognized mainline.

Of course, now I have the problem:

|> bzr branch lp:dulwich Dulwich_Trunk
bzr: ERROR: CVS working trees are not supported. To convert CVS projects to bzr, please see http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrMigration and/or https://edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-bazaar/+faq/26.

I guess I need to find out what the problem is here so I can switch from
using the Git repository to using  the Bazaar branch as my source. 

BTW What is the difference between:

https://launchpad.net/dulwich/trunk

and

https://edge.launchpad.net/dulwich/trunk

Thanks.
