Have put up an mp that implements a transport post_connect hook, and
despite a few complications, it does basically work:

<https://code.launchpad.net/~gz/bzr/transport_post_connect_hook/+merge/38431>

However getting the design right, particularly for the rather
different RemoteTransport classes looks to be difficult.

At Vincent's suggestion, I've now put up another mp with my original
hack (tidied up a little) so that we can get past this and on to
setting up an OSX slave and resolving test collection without needing
to work out a sensible hook solution:
