The URL form allows a user: bzr+ssh://user@bzr.example.com/...

This does involve changing the URL for the bound branch, which is a 
pain, but should be doable with "bzr unbind; bzr bind <new-url>".

If you're using lightweight checkouts, and can't unbind, the "switch" 
command from bzrtools might be just what you need.
