Bug Description

This is probably my number one annoyance with bzr currently. I was sure that I'd reported this before, but cannot find the bug anywhere, so I'm reporting again.

If I am working in a subdirectory of a branch and run bzr status, I see the files with path relative to the branch root. That however isn't particularly useful when in a subdirectory and I want to copy and paste some filenames to the command line for my next command. A common use case is to diff one file, or commit just a selection of files.

The key command involved here is status, but I suppose other commands could be involved too.

This is a big annoyance for me too, on a daily basis. With both bzt status and bzr diff.
