Comment 1 for bug 112390

Thanks for the report.

In this particular case you can do

 bzr commit -m FOO $(bzr ls |grep oidentd)

this will pick up some unmodifed files, but commit should happily ignore them.

Switching on isatty can be confusing for people trying to write scripts so we're a bit reluctant to make that the only way to control things.

In a discussion on the list there was some suggestion that adding an option 'bzr ls --modified' would be the best way to generate a list of files for a case like this.
