I'll also add my vote for 'status -r' to show a summary of changes
since then, and even for 'status -r A..B' to show a summary of change
from A to B.  Obviously if A and B are historical there will never be
unknown or ignored files.

Already done if you have bzrtools, will be in core later.

Yes.

Would be nice.  Maybe even diffstat-style output would be nice (though
I think it should be on a log scale.)

Is this the famous 'diff --no-diffs' option?  I'm not sure that's so
logical but I guess it's harmless.

So Robert for now please just add a todo about status -r (unless
someone's keen and sends a patch right away, or points out one i
dropped.)
