| You might look into the logging code. Since most times you have that

Having the need to read for separate file is not really substitute for
the verbose switch.

    do something
    <ahem: cat, tail, less the log file>
    do another
    <ahem: cat, tail, less the log file>
    ...

In contrast to more simpler:

   do something (verbose)
   do something (verbose)

If the level of verbosity could be controlled, all the better:

   --verbose 2
   -v 2

or just

   -v  (defaults to 1)

Sounds like a good plan. While I'd rather would follow the idea of
"directories" and would prefer:

  ~/.bzr.d/

Just like Emacs uses:

  ~/.emacs.d/

Perhaps the directory name could be made configurable via environment
variable BZRHOME?
