That tarball contains the source tree twice. That can be avoided if it
contained tree-less branches. The user only needs to execute `bzr co' on
the branch he wants to populate.

A tarball with a lightweight checkout would require 31 MB. The bad news
is that if your connection is so slow that a 300 MB download is
unacceptable, you will have problems with the network inefficiency of
bzr over http/sftp. A simple update after a few days can easily require
to transfer 10 MB. A commit can be very expensive too at times. A
lightweight checkout needs to contact upstream for almost everything.
