I think we should use bzr+ssh rather than sftp for 'debcheckout -a' from
bzr.debian.org. It seems to work fine, and in general bzr+ssh will be
faster; sftp has to transfer all the branch data over to the client in
order for the client to do anything with it, but bzr+ssh runs a bzr
process on the server and talks to it using its own more efficient
protocol.
Trivial patch attached.
Thanks,
