I don't have any bzr repository checked out currently, so I couldn't
test my assertion.  But reading the docs of bzr-1.10 it seems to me that
`bzr diff' only accepts files as arguments (no directories), too.

Maybe that could make syncing parts that also have an external
repository difficult.  One candidate suffering from that could be
org-mode, which resides at lisp/org/.

Bye,
Tassilo
