You can also use the "import" command from bzrtools.  It imports the
files from an archive into the working tree, deleting any versioned
files that are not present in the archive.

$ bzr import vendor.zip vendor
$ bzr add vendor
$ bzr ci -m 'updated to new vendor version' vendor
$ bzr tag vendor-3.1415 -d vendor

If some files have been renamed, you can try the automv plugin, which
will guess renames.  (I haven't tried it myself, yet)
