Ah, thanks. I'm using bzr-fast-export, not git-remote-bzr, but that might 
be worth a shot. Theoretically they should export the same tree, I guess 
-- it looks like they're using the same solution.

Looks like git-remote-bzr doesn't handle the .bzrignore -> .gitignore 
munging that I included, so we would still need to fix those up, if we 
wanted ignores to work right when checking out an old commit (which I 
think is desirable).
