If you want to review its current state, I would be very happy. I just
want to make sure I'm not going off on a tangent that people won't like.

It isn't complete. It was 50-75% done on updating the commands, when I
ran into the bzrignore problem (we weren't reading .bzrignore as utf-8,
though I thought fnmatch just wasn't handling unicode characters). And
then I ran into the problem that on Mac OSX it normalizes filenames.

So if I'm dealing with all of that, I'm maybe 40% done. But it would be
nice to have someone give feedback about the design itself.
