You forgot one key piece of information: how much memory your system
has?

bzr 2.0.4 will use approx. 1GB of resident memory while branching emacs
with http. Branching from Launchpad with the bzr+ssh protocol requires
about 600MB. For this, you must create an account on Launcpad, import a
public ssh key there and:

bzr lp-login your-launchpad-username
bzr branch lp:emacs

IIRC, bzr 2.1 (which is in RC stage) requires a few hundreds of MB less.

OTOH, some people published tarballs of the emacs `trunk' branch. Links
to them are here on the ml.
