OK, how about this:

    """Show information about a working tree, branch or repository.

    This command will show all known locations and formats associated to the
    tree, branch or repository.  Along with statistical information for each.

    Branches and working trees will report missing revisions.
    """
    takes_args = ['location?']
    takes_options = ['verbose',
                     Option('local', help="show only local information"),
                     ]

A checkout (bound branch) has a local repository. Only the missing
revisions check will contact a possibly remote bound master branch.

For lightweight checkouts with a remote branch and repository on sftp,
the open_workingtree accesses paramiko already.

working = a_bzrdir.open_workingtree() will give an exception as
__init__ in WorkingTree also calls open_branch()

So you want --local to skip the missing master revisions check when bound?
