Jari's improvement sounds worthwhile. The case should change to
'Ignored %d files.'
I'm not sure what 'latest-adds' would do. Is it substantially different
to 'bzr st' or 'bzr ls --added'.
A more general question of 'what did i just do' might be best handled by
(as in Matthieu's recent thread) moving .bzr.log back to a record of
user-level actions and consequences.
