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.
