efficiency over NFS

[Mohit Aron]

I don't know NFSv4 well. I do know though that it is not as widely deployed
as NFSv3. Even Netapp (which is the leader in NFS appliances) still sells
NFSv3 solutions as far as I know.

That said, in general it seems to be a bad idea to issue a 'stat' on every
file in the workspace whenever a 'bzr status' or a 'bzr commit' is done.
Different people seem to have different opinions on this - I personally
would much rather prefer that 'bzr' not rely on the performance of the
underlying filesystem so heavily. That's why I'm proposing the 'edit'
command as an option - whoever likes it can use it, rest can just use bzr
the way it works currently.
