Bug Description
If the user's ssh private key is encrypted, bazaar needs to prompt the user to decrypt it for use in establishing the SSL. Most commands only request this decryption once, which is fine since I see no way to establish the equivalent of a session-key that persists across invocations, though that would be a WONDERFUL feature as my hand is getting tired from typing my password constantly.
What is, however, in my opinion excessive is that "bzr switch" requests decryption no less than FOUR (4) times before completion. Surely this can be cut down to 1, can't it?

You can use an SSH agent for this.

Most likely yes.
