update

Some tools from this were broken… got a decent set of revisions working… yay!

Grab and install the following:

git-bzr-ng

git clone http://github.com/termie/git-bzr-ng.git
(working HEAD was 280eba)

Now install

cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s ../src/git-bzr-ng/git-bzr-ng git-bzr

bzr-fastimport

bzr branch lp:bzr-fastimport -r327

Now install.
I know there’re much better ways to do this… I’m just capturing what I did to get it to work

cd bzr-fastimport
sudo ./setup.py install
mv /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bzr-fast"*" /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
mv /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bzrlib/plugins/fastimport /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bzrlib/plugins/

from http://wiki.openstack.org/GitBzrInstructions

on Ubuntu/Debian:

apt-get install git-core bzr bzr-fastimport; 
git clone git://github.com/kfish/git-bzr
cd git-bzr
sudo cp git-bzr /usr/local/bin

Using git-bzr:

An example session goes like this:

$ git init
$ git bzr add upstream ../bzr-branch
$ git bzr fetch upstream
$ git checkout -b local_branch upstream
$ Hack hack, merge merge....

$ git bzr push upstream
