I've just tried and git-bzr-ng actually does a good job of importing the
branch and tag:

  $> git-bzr import lp:~hudson-openstack/nova/milestone-proposed
  $> git merge-base origin/master bzr/milestone-proposed

This shows that master and the imported milestone-proposed branch
diverge exactly where you'd expect it to.

Then, to push to github:

  $> git push origin milestone-proposed:refs/heads/milestone-proposed
  $> git push origin tag 2011.3

It might be worth pushing some of the other tags too

Cheers,
Mark.
