Details:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bzr/?group=grub encourages use of sftp:// protocol
when branching off a Bazaar repository, but according to Colin Watson (CCed),
bzr+ssh:// is a better option. From his email in grub-devel:

I would also generally recommend using bzr+ssh:// rather than sftp://
URLs. sftp:// involves copying all the metadata back and forward for a
number of operations. bzr+ssh:// runs a smart server on the remote
system and interacts with that, which is generally much faster. If you
do this, you'll need to drop /srv/bzr from the URL as well, so:
bzr branch bzr+ssh://${[email protected]/grub/trunk
</quote>
However, it appears to generate some warnings. Perhaps the benefit does not
apply untill server is upgraded to 1.2?
$ bzr branch bzr+ssh://[email protected]/grub/trunk
No handlers could be found for logger "bzr"
Server is too old for streaming pull, reconnecting. (Upgrade the server to
Bazaar 1.2 to avoid this)
No handlers could be found for logger "bzr"
Branched 1768 revision(s).
