Hi,

I was just wondering if it would make more sense to output status in
this order:

added
renamaed
modified
removed
unknown

instead of:

removed
added
renamed
modified
unknown

The advantage is that removed and unknown are listed last and together
so that if a file has been moved by an external tool (e.g. Eclipse) you
have the list of files that bzr thinks is removed and unknown so that
you can copy and paste them easily into "bzr mv" commands to tell bzr
that they were moved.

I find I do this quite often and the current order has the removed files
first so they are as far away from the unknowns as possible. If you have
a few modified or added files then you have to scroll up and down in the
terminal to do this. Listing them last would most likely make this not
necessary and would certainly minimize the scrolling as much as possible
instead of maximizing it...
