I see you are not using the 'export' functionality, which is good since it has a bug, but if you'd be interested in doing that, feel free to ping me in #git-devel on freenode or on gchat, and we can figure out what would be easiest.

I'd recommend working on 'bzr fast-import', forking it if necessary. Definitely preferable over creating a new tool from scratch.

Please keep up the good work, I'd love to be able to clone bzr repo's :).
