Is there a reason why some commands (such as view but also up or pull) don't accept more than one argument? I'd really like to one day be able to do cd ~/src/bzr && bzr pull *. git and svn do allow that, which is really useful.<div>

The general idea of having a view defined by a wildcard seems to make<br>
sense and you're welcome to add a bug asking for it. It's probably<br>
feasible.<br>
<br>
However in the specific example you give, at least on unix, the glob<br>
is going to be expanded by the shell, so Bazaar won't know you didn't<br>
manually specify all those names.<br>
