No, I meant the bzr tree; you mentioned explicitly setting up a bzr tree
for tracking Linus' tree.

Yep, I've been using both git (well, cogito) and bzr for a few months
now.  I've been impressed w/ the speed of both.  With bzr 0.0.7, commits

I realize that; I was interested in a bzr tree that tracks upstream,
regardless, for measuring both bzr and git for my own purposes.
