After 1000 email threads saying nothing and 3 years of work, GNU Emacs is now using a slightly less-broken revision control system.

Everyone I know working on Emacs just uses the Git version and sends patches against that. But we couldn't use Git for Emacs, because RMS does not like Linus. Rational!

Since Bazaar "transparently supports foreign branches for Subversion, Git and Mercurial repositories", I have to ask: does it matter that they don't use Git?

I think it has more to do with Bazaar being a GNU project, not because RMS does not like Linux.

You probably mean Linus? (makes a lot of difference)
