bzr-git can already import all branches - what it can't do is import a
specific branch, which is presumably what prevents its use in Launchpad
code imports.

I happened to be playing with this last night and it appears to require
only about 7 lines of code in bzr-git. The outstanding problem is
apparently that no one has managed to agree on an URL form to refer to
"colocated branches", so the actual implementation is blocked.

It would be great if someone familiar with the past discussion on this
matter could summarize the status and/or revive the discussion.

Max.
