There is some CGI script that you can simply drop in the branch IIRC,
though I don't think CGI scripts are currently allowed on
people.samba.org.

You should be able to create just a working copy using:

bzr checkout --lightweight
http://people.samba.org/bzr/jelmer/samba/4.0-replace

Another option is to create a repository locally so that you only have
to download each revision once (most branches have only a couple of
revisions in addition to those on the mainline).

But having ifdefs in just includes.h shouldn't be a problem?
