Hi,

probably the best way is to pull a few revisions at a time, eg

bzr init-repo mysql
cd mysql
bzr branch lp:mysql/5.0 -r100

and then so on up.

I've had to do this before when pulling a big shaky svn branch.
Maybe it would be nice to automate this by having a pull --step=100
option to pull a chunk of revs at a time and then "commit" the
transaction completely after each batch before moving on; or even do
this by default?!

+1 for having it as option.
