We might also consider to write a bzr plugin providing the
output in an emacs readable format, i.e. a list:
((modified ("FILE1" "FILE2" ...)
(renamed ...)
...))
Essentially this would not require parsing anymore and we do
not rely on the output format and this way we are even able
to combine bzr commands and speed up the whole thing ...
