That's a strawman.  I never proposed that either the 'bk edit' model or
the inotify daemon be mandatory.

If you want great performance on huge freakin' trees, users are going to
have to do more work.  Either they:
1. specify particular files at the commandline every time
2. run 'bzr edit' on file they edit
3. teach their tools to run 'bzr edit'
4. set up a daemon to run 'bzr edit'.
