| Man, all I can say is that if a company that needs to develop in house
software cannot come up with a better arrangement than diskless thin
clients, I think I would be finding another job. The only scenario I can
fathom an edit command being useful is when your repository is near the
size/performance limitations of bzr which is pretty large. However, I
might add, everyone I know who has used a VCS that requires the edit
command *hates* the edit command and this goes for perforce, VSS and CVS.

| That said, I think the one thing that can help solve the problem is to
have some type of background service running that keeps track of
external modifications to files under version control as this way bzr
would not have to traverse a directory and build up data structures.

On Linux, at least, inotify could be used so Bazaar does not have to
scan the entire tree and is notified when something changes in a working
directory. I'm not sure about Windows but I would much prefer solutions
in this direction than an edit command.
An edit command really makes you have to change your workflow to fit
with the VCS. I prefer a VCS to stay out of my way a - which Bazaar
currently does a great job of ;-)
Cheers,
Nick
