Hi,

How far did git-bzr or git-remote-bzr get?

I've tried git-bzr from the repo and I seem to be stumbling on bzr not
having the fast-export command after I install the fast-import plugin
as per [1]. So I think its a bazzar problem not a git-bzr one. Has
anyone got a fully worked example including the installation of the
required bits and pieces.

Alternatively what I'm really trying to do is update a series of
patches for an upstream project that is managed with bazzar. We have
30 or so patches with our customizations so I'd like to get git (or
bzr) to do the heavy lifting for me. In git I'd do something like this

git clone <upstream>
git checkout <tag that corresponds to the version of the tarball we use>
git checkout -b our-patches
git am <patches>
git rebase <tag that corresponds to the new version we want to use>
git format-patch ...

Anybody got a similar recipe for bzr? (yes I'll go ask on the bzr list too)
