Note: clone/pull operations on Bazaar repo seems have same time, network efficient as Git when used bzr:// or nosmart+bzr:// protocols. http:// protocols for Bazaar and for Git both are not efficient!

I just did a test quick test:
|| Method || Time || Index ||
|||||| ||
|| bzr branch bzr://... || 15m43s || 100 ||
|| git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/... || 10m00s || 64 ||
|| git clone git://repo.or.cz/... || 7m53s || 50 ||
|||||| ||
|| bzr branch http://... || 27m21s || 100 ||
|| git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/... || 14m01s || 51 ||
|| git clone http://repo.or.cz/... || 9m18s || 34 ||
So git:// is around 35-50% faster; also the git http protocol has improved in recent years, being slightly faster than bzr:// and 49-66% faster than bzr over http.

That github mirror no longer exists. I've been trying to find out (a little) what happened because it seems a good thing that github would host mirrors and pay for the bandwidth (because it's significant actually).
If they've shut it down for that very reason I will be disappointed.

NicFerrier: please see https://github.com/emacsmirror/p/issues/5
There is no reason at this point to assume a githuber is responsible for this; it most likely is my fault.

Well, I wouldn't go as far as calling it "awesome news" that I made a mistake :-)

What is the latest stable branch on the emacs git repository? Is the master branch actually quite stable? :-)
