FYI there's official git-bzr plugin that is distributed along git
sources. It's probably better to use this plugin instead of git-bzr-ng
for any permanent git-bzr bridges: the former, being in the official git
sources, is likely to be better maintained in the long term. The
kicad-source-mirror repository on github already uses it, the
instructions for importing new changes are on the wiki[1].
