It looks like this (test repository):
- read-only access (hpss):
  bzr branch bzr://cvs.sv.gnu.org/administration/repo1
- write access (ssh):
  bzr push bzr+ssh://address@hidden/administration/repo1
- slow "dump-protocol" access (http):
  bzr branch http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/b/administration/repo1

There's no direct shell access.

We can instanciate a repository for Emacs.

This hasn't been extensively tested, consider this beta service :)
