I can't speak to a python-on-bzr, but for another project, doing the
initial branch of a huge and deep history took maybe an hour, hour-
and-a-half over the network. I know that bzr is trying to improve
this. However, by checking out into a repository, once all that
history was on my local machine, branching was trivially fast. And
if your pushing changes into a remote repository that's up-to-date,
that will be very fast too. So yes, there's some initial overhead
but with bzr done right, for most subsequent work, there's no
perceptible lag due to the scm.
