Taken into my branch.

I was going to add --heavy, and my first impulse is that it would be an
error to give both.  However I suppose if people have an alias that
turns on --heavy, then they should be able to say effectively
  
  bzr checkout --light --heavy 

to get back to the default behaviour.  So then we would want the last
option given to determine the result.
