Right, and there have been complaints because that's not
win98-compatible.  And the win98-compatible option places limits on how
many arguments you can supply.

bzr error status is significant:
    0- OK,
    1- Conflicts in merge-like operations, or changes are present in
       diff-like operations.
    2- Unrepresentable diff changes (i.e. binary files that we cannot show
       a diff of).
    3- An error or exception has occurred.
