I've used it with Bazaar. It has worked reasonably well, but it is only 
aware of one branch. You can now link multiple "repositories" to a 
single project, so you could in theory do one per branch, but it would 
be tedious to set up. There's been some work to get it to work with 
multiple branches by doing a scan of the file tree, but it hasn't been 
merged to trunk. I'm also not sure if that's the best way of going about 
it. Once colocation becomes first class in bzr, then I'd imagine it 
being a fair bit easier to fix Redmine to work with multiple branches in 
a much cleaner way.

As for running it on a hosted platform, I don't know how easy it would 
be to get that working with Bazaar. I've always hosted it myself.

Cheers,
David
