Not right now.  The commercial tree has a -1 option to sfiles which 
does what you want, however.

bk -r sfiles is redundant.  "bk -r" will do the same thing, we just allow
the other form because people tend to type it.

It's worth noting that "bk -r command ..." is the same as

	cd `bk root`
	bk sfiles | bk command ... -

and that "bk -r" is the same as 

	cd `bk root`
	bk sfiles

You can combine -r with the sfiles options if you like, so if you wanted to 
do something to all the modified files it is

	bk -cr command
