Hi Misha,

these are questions better brought up with support@bitmover.com but since
we're here I'll run through them.

> 1) Very slow bk clone / bk pull from http://bkdemo.bkbits.net/bk_demo{,1,2}

I think this is on your end.  I just tried it from FSMlabs (they are in
New Mexico and we are in San Francisco)

bash-2.05a$ time bk clone -q http://bkdemo.bkbits.net/bk_demo1   

real    0m33.640s
user    0m2.120s
sys     0m0.490s

I did it twice, same results.

bk parent <newlocation> is all you need.

Yes, it should.  And in the next release it does:

$ bk push /tmp 
ERROR-cannot cd to /tmp (illegal, nonexistant, or not package root)

This works correctly for me, we must have fixed this.
