Description
Hi,
Clearly BTRBK does a lot of `btrfs send ... | btrfs receive ...`.
BTRFS team usually asks for **receive --dump** output like the below in order to reproduce the low level bugs:
`btrfs send ... | btrfs receive --dump`.
Please consider adding `receive --dump` option in BTRBK.
This would speedup resolving BTRFS bugs a lot and it turn will help BTRBK project.
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by locating the command-line option handling and the code that invokes the BTRFS send/receive pipeline. Check how receive arguments are assembled, then verify that the requested option produces BTRFS receive --dump output without changing normal backup behavior.
