I agree, it took me a couple of minutes to work out what was wrong. I was 
starting at bzr source before it dawned on me.

When a user says "ci foo/bar" I think it's reasonable to assume they realise 
any changes to foo will also be committed.

The only thing to be careful of is that "ci foo/bar" _doesn't_ commit changes 
to "foo/foo".
