Feature request : fileinfo command

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

I would like to see a feature called "fileinfo" which given a file name in the current working directory:

     bzr fileinfo whatever/filename.X

will tell me if the file is in one of these categories:

    - versioned and up-to-date
   - versioned with uncommited changes
   - not versioned, but matches a pattern in .bzrignore
   - not versioned.

They may actually more possibilities but the above would be very helpful.

Couldn't this be (optionally) available from ls or stat rather than a
separate command?

I was surprised that 'bzr st -v' didn't give such info.

Sure, once the functionality is available I can always create an
alias to call it whatever I want.
