The entire repo is 339MB. I don't think that is massively bigger than
a CVS checkout used to be. The largest single file in there is 190MB,
for some reason. You can fetch the repo by rsync (which can be
interrupted and resumed), as suggested on

http://savannah.gnu.org/bzr/?group=emacs

with somethine like:

rsync -avP username <at> bzr.savannah.gnu.org:/srv/bzr/emacs ./

That page also says that to convert the result of rsync into what you
would have gotten from bzr, you should use eg

cd trunk && bzr checkout

I know that rsync works, but I never tried the last part.

I hope you can make it work somehow, since committers are in short
supply.

Do try the Bazaar mailing list if you need help or suggestions.
