That's OK, but I would also like to have a local shared repository to speed up things like local branching. Is this possible with the current setup?
I think you do:
bzr init-repo inkscape-repo cd inkscape-repo bzr branch lp:inkscape
which creates a "shared repository" directory 'inkscape-repo' (or whatever name you like) containing the branch 'inkscape', but with all the bzr data shared in the 'inkscape-repo' directory.
So then, in the 'inkscape-repo' directory,
bzr branch inkscape bug-53453
creates a branch called 'bug-53453'based on the inkscape branch, really fast.
When you're done in bug-53453, after a final commit there, I usually do something like
cd .../inkscape-repo/inkscape bzr merge ../bug-53453 bzr commit --fixes xxx -m'fixed blah blah' bzr push
at that point you can delete the 'bug-53453' directory if you want.
Also, in the mean time, doing `bzr pull` in 'inkscape', to keep that up to date, and `bzr merge ../inkscape; bzr commit -m'merged trunk'` in bug-53453 to get those updates in my bug branch.
