Hi, thanks for summarizing that.  I think there are bugs for all the
substantial failures here, so I won't manually search for them just in
this mail.

Considering the cost and benefit of fixing each of these, I think the
ones that are simple bugs are good to fix first:

 * paths with \
 * bzr-svn: Empty parent '...' added, but child '...' wasn't added: 2
 * bzr-svn: bzrlib.errors.InconsistentDeltaDelta generated: 1

 (these latter two might be core bzr issues?)

If you want to point bzr team people to any particular foreign branch
bugs or mentor them on them that could be good.

Beyond that probably nested trees and colocated branches makes sense
to do first, which will obviously make many people happy.
