This is a good thing IMHO (overriding a default ignore list is usually
painfull if at all possible).

But this raises the need for a better way to add a lot of patterns at
a time in .bzrignore.

I posted an idea a while ago, that nobody (including me) took time to
implement yet: provide packages of ignore patterns for common
software:

$ bzr ignore --package latex
ignoring *.toc
ignoring *.log
ignoring ...
...
$ bzr ignore --package emacs
ignoring *~
ignoring #*#
...
$ bzr ignore --package c,autoconf
ignoring *.o
ignoring Makefile
ignoring configure
...

It would be easy to allow plugins to register their own packages of
ignore patterns.

This would considerably reduce the pain of starting a new project with
bzr while staying away from the default ignore list thing.
