If I'm not wrong, the needed steps are listed in the "Merge another
branch into yours" section.
The "SOURCE_OF_FOO" branch must be already locally checked-out, right ?

It seems no.

This the problem.
Phyton is build for standard Windows environment, while MSYS+MinGW
uses a simple emulated BASH environment, with different path names handling.

Probably a different bzr installation is needed, but I still cannot
find python binaries for MSYS+MinGW ....

So bootstrap before rsync is better ....

It will work over a NFS share ?

The rsync repository is bootstrapped ?

The bootstrap of Squid on Tru64, Irix and others is not a so simple
question .... :-(
