Branches can be quite large, since they contain full histories of
projects. The branch for Launchpad itself is hundreds of megabytes,
IIRC.

It's possible, and we think it's a good idea. It's just not done yet.

Bug 350031, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/+bug/350031

The bug is marked as In progress, but I'm pretty sure work has
stalled. I'd be happy to help someone come up with a patch for this.

'bzr info -v lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel' will give you an indication
of its size in terms of number of revisions and committers. It won't
tell you its size on disk. I don't think there is a bzr command that
will give you that information.
