Bug Description

$ bzr init; touch foo bar baz bat bamus batis bant; bzr add -q *; bzr commit -q -m "LOL"
$ bzr diff donotwant foo bar baz bat bamus batis bant
bzr: ERROR: Path(s) are not versioned: bamus bat bar bant batis baz donotwant foo
$

Only one of those files was unversioned, so please tell me which of
them is unversioned rather than listing them all back to me which is
just confusing.

Also the error messages use the term 'Path(s)' while e.g. bzr diff
--help talks about files. (Although that's obviously less
important/confusing.)

[And _really_ nitpicking, why 'Path(s)'? bzr knows how many
 paths/files are unversioned...]
