About the data > format, I have no idea. jbailey, do you have any comment? ;) I've used bzr when working on my summer of code project 1.5 years ago and didn't have any issues with performance. And this was before they did all the performance improvements. Maybe with big source trees like Linux it's still too slow, but for GRUB this is really no problem. The changes in data format shouldn't really be any problem in practice, because newer versions can still read the older disk format and the network protocol doesn't change most of the time.
