For those who haven't seen it, Canonical is planning to sunset Bazaar support 
in Launchpad in a couple of months. If you don't want to lose your Bazaar 
branches, you'll need to migrate them somewhere else.

See https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/phasing-out-bazaar-code-hosting/62189

Please note that "brz fast-export" has a number of open bugs (and has and 
little test coverage compared to the
rest of Bazaar/Breezy), so please be careful when using it to do migrations - 
and double check the resulto

I'd recommend the builtin support for pushing from Bazaar to Git instead:

/tmp% brz branch https://code.launchpad.net/lazr.config
Branched 27 revisions.
/tmp% git init lazr.config-git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/lazr.config-git/.git/
/tmp% /usr/bin/brz push -d lazr.config --lossy lazr.config-git
Pushing from a Bazaar to a Git repository. For better performance, push into a Bazaar repository.
All changes applied successfully.
Pushed up to revision 27.
6 tags updated.

Cheers,

Jelmer
