Bug Description
bzr diff/bzr status do not work during a bzr commit, complaining of not being able to lock:
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock ".../.bzr/
My Git workflow is to do a commit and ^Z from the editor followed by "git diff" to confirm/
I can see no requirement or need to lock when doing read-only querying of the database. Ideally bzr should allow non-invasion commands to be run without the need to gain a lockfile.

I found it useful to have the alias `ci = commit --show-diff` to see the diff in my editor while typing the commit message.
