There'd be very little justification for such a prompt:
- prompts suck for command line tools that can be used in scripts (or
by Emacs packages ;-)
- "bzr add" prints the list of files it actually added, so if it adds
some files you didn't expect, you have a fair chance of noticing it
after the fact.
- the effect of an overzealous "bzr add" can be cancelled without harm
any time until the next "commit".
- it's usually recommended to use "<backend> diff" before a "<backend> commit"
so as to make sure you don't commit something by mistake, and that
would give one last chance to catch a "bzr add" that added more
than expected.
