I think that'd be good.  At least having an on/off switch would be good
for a start.  I would like to see

 bzr  -Dtransport 

turn on transport-related debugging, which should include information
about opening the ssh connection and perhaps each file that's accessed.

I have a pending branch which cleans up trace and allows sending it to
stderr; I'll try to land that this time.
