Since rsync can operate also over ssh (or local directory), how about:

bzr clone rsync:/mnt/share/bzr/dev
bzr clone rsync+http://bazaar-ng.org/bzr/bzr.dev
bzr clone rsync+ssh://user@bazaar-ng.org/home/user/bzr.dev

or

bzr clone --rsync http://bazaar-ng.org/bzr/bzr.dev

Since my provider has occasional 40% packet loss "happy hours" and dying 
connections, I vote for remote operations that make sure that tree is always 
in recoverable state. :)
