(Of course, I don't know how long a checkout of a hypothetical Bazaar repository would take; maybe it's not any faster.) From my experience with git and the Linux repository, an hour is "about right". People familiar with these tools probably learn to do initial checkouts over night.

I can't speak to a python-on-bzr, but for another project, doing the
initial branch of a huge and deep history took maybe an hour, hour- and-a-half over the network. I know that bzr is trying to improve
this. However, by checking out into a repository, once all that
history was on my local machine, branching was trivially fast. And
if your pushing changes into a remote repository that's up-to-date,
that will be very fast too. So yes, there's some initial overhead
but with bzr done right, for most subsequent work, there's no
perceptible lag due to the scm.
