status really is quite a different command; from IRC I know this is for
a GUI - its really much better to just grab all the status data rather
than dir at a time - its much more efficient for something invoking bzr
repeatedly. (startup time can be 90% of the time to do a full tree
status, so doing 1000 dirs by calling bzr on each one will cripple your
performance).
