I'll correct the proposal a little. It would be better if the
information fit on one line per file. So,
    
    $ bzr --verbose add this.txt
    this.txt        adding... SKIPPED; already versioned 

OR

    $ bzr --verbose add this.txt
    this.txt         adding... DONE.

The message could start at predefined column to line up other messages
(not possible for long path names, but probably works 90% of the time).
