bzr status -v should show also non-modified files

I'm not sure that's what is expected of status, and , you can get all the versioned files with: bzr inventory

Does that satisfy what you needed, or do you expect something else not provided by inventory?

The files that are unchanged are pretty uninteresting, and their may be
loads of them.

Can I ask why you would like the information?

Thanks,

I know that ls/inventory lists versioned files and ignored will list the ignored files.

This is more an "ortogonal functionality" problem: if status can tell me that a file is unknown or added, why shouldn't it show me that a file is flagged as versioned/not-changed?

I found my self doing "bzr status -v dir/foo/bar" and receiving an empty message: what does that mean? That there is no status? Is it ignored? Is it unchanged since the last revision? I was expecting to see a reassuring "non changed: dir/foo/bar" message instead of nothing.

I know that there are going to be a lot of versioned files. This is why I'm suggesting to show that status only with --verbose or with an ad-hoc (--all-statuses) flag.

Someone else had the same confusion recently; they wanted the equivalent
of 'svn info path';
