- From your email it is unclear to me what the 'overlap' is. Specifically,
are the files in 'domain.net' the same as 'domain.com' or are they
separate domains?

Similarly, is there overlap between 'htdocs' and 'htsdocs' that you are
trying to preserve or are they separate documents?

If the htdocs and htsdocs are non-overlapping (my guess) and the files
between domains are mostly non-overlapping, then I would do something like:

cd /var/www/domain.net/v1.0
bzr init
bzr add # adds htdocs and htsdocs to 1 project
bzr commit -m "Initial import of the 1.0 sources"
bzr tag domain.net-1.0

cd ../v1.1
mv ../v1.0/.bzr . # start with a clone of the 1.0 state

# Try to find renames, barring that, add new files, delete missing ones
bzr mv --auto
bzr add
bzr rm

bzr commit -m "Updating to the 1.1 release"
bzr tag domain.net-1.1

cd ../v1.2
mv ../v1.1/.bzr

# continue until you have all versions imported

When you are done, the *last* directory will have a .bzr with all of the
ancestry.
