Just to come in with a point that Robert is (distantly) making here.

I think it's really great if, where possible, BK has "obvious" shortcuts 
that resemble existing UNIX commands, except which work on the revision 
controlled files and have intuitive extensions allowing operations on 
the history. It's surprising how tiny little details like that actually 
save quite a lot of accumulated time.

For example the way "bk vi" allows you to alias it in a transparent way 
so you don't have to care about checking out files is one of those neat 
little touches, it just works out of the box. It'd be really neat to 
have "bk find" and "bk ls" etc, which, like bk vi, work normally when 
they're run outside of a repository but do useful things when they're 
invoked within.
