This makes the client need to actually parse the commands, and
understand what needs to be done.
The point of the "bzr service" plugin, was to have a very stupid client,
which only passes the requests to the server.

'bzr commit -m "foo"' does work fine.

I suppose the communication could be updated so that the server could
tell the client to do things. Such as "spawn this program, and give me
the results".

At the very least, I guess, the service plugin should completely
disconnect from the current terminal, so that you get a failure, rather
than having an editor show up elsewhere.
