Tell ansible to keep the remote script and then use use python -m trace to walk through it ...

The git module often requires adding the host to known\_hosts or forwarding SSH creds. We have an open ticket to add some additional options for auto-handling these kinds of things, which I hope to see resolved in 1.5.
