I was thinking more along the lines of 'bzr status --log-format full',  
or '--pending-log-format', to match 'bzr log'.

I started to delve into adding support for 'log_format' options to  
status, but the other LogFormatters don't support log_string, and I  
ran out of time.  And it sounds like that wouldn't have worked anyways.
