- - I often have files in my tree temporarily that I do not want to add
- - the standard mv command would cause a delete and add, which is a bad
failure mode
- - I have much stronger control over which files are deleted from my tree
than which files are added to my tree.

I don't necessarily agree that it makes sense.  Maybe for scripting.  I
guess --auto-add would work.  But for scripting, "bzr add && bzr commit"
is sufficient.
