Hi Neil,
I think the help changes are good. I'm not sure about removing the
message. I would prefer the following:
1) Make it obey -q (if it doesn't already)
2) Add 'To see which files are currently ignored run "bzr ignored".'
to the message.
I realise that adding more to the message is making it worse from
some people's perspective, and that there is disagreement about
this issue anyway, but I prefer this solution.
We have people ask how to find out what was ignored, so I think
the message has utility to some people.
Thanks,
James
