bzr's data format, as I understand it, is slightly richer than
Mercurial's when it comes to directory tracking. I think bzr is
similar to svn. My guess is that hg-bzr is doable, and that it'd be
somewhat easier than hgsubversion.

That said, I have no interest in it, as I don't work with anything on
bzr, so all I can do is wish you godspeed if you decide to tackle it.

(I believe I have friends who are still on orders to stage an
intervention if I write hg-bzr.)
