Summary - here's my log of working out how simple fixing the leo bzr
window problem seems to be, will address next steps in new thread:

Log:

Test 1GB Windows XP-32bit system (VirtualBox emulation)

Install Python 2.7.2

Install Bzr 2.5 beta 2

"Start bzr in command shell" from Start menu

bzr branch lp:leo-editor

Hit out of memory when the estimated progress was at 68054 / 74386.

Restart the virtual machine with 4GB ram (host system, Ubuntu 11.10
64-bit, has 6GB)

rmdir /s leo-editor

bzr branch lp:leo-editor

Ran out at 68061 / 74407

So I start fiddling with the fast-export thing.

Tags leo-4-6-[123]-final seemed to get lost.

Apart from that, I don't think we loose anything except compatibility
with existing branches / checkouts.  On a larger project that might be
a big deal, for Leo I don't know if it's that big a deal, we'd have to
set a deadline to merge all outstanding changes, that's all.

However, I'm not sure how to test the rebuilt vs. original repo.  Using
HTTP to access both the old and the new work for me in 1GB WinXP using
my local copies.  Which suggests that the bad reference which we're
blaming exists only in the LP copy.  I.e. fast-export isn't really
needed fix it, any new branch is ok.

Which further suggests that a new push of the existing repo to LP might
be fine...

with that in mind I've branched Leo-trunk to 
lp:~terry-n-brown/+junk/leo_test

...

now branching back to the 1GB WinXP machine (at least download is a lot
faster than upload...)

bingo - seems fixed, and commit IDs are the same, so should work fine
with other existing branches
