I've switched lp-source-dependencies over to git.  This allows us to use
a shallow clone, which makes the initial checkout very much quicker
(about 180MiB to download rather than about 830MiB).

If you have an existing checkout of Launchpad, then you should update it
now, as follows:

  # Set up the usual lp: alias.  You can skip this if you have it
  # already.
  git config --global url.git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/.insteadof lp:

  . ~/.rocketfuel-env.sh
  cd "$LP_PROJECT_ROOT/$LP_SOURCEDEPS_DIR"
  mv download-cache download-cache-old-bzr
  git clone --depth=1 lp:lp-source-dependencies download-cache
  rm -rf download-cache-old-bzr
