Sounds like some bells and whistles -- a good idea, but of course this
goes beyond what CVS does, which is all we're trying to do at this
moment.

Right now, the `status' command just grabs a version number from the
repository. Perhaps we can eventually pass an extra flag which makes
it fetch the *entire* repos file and attempt to merge it in a scratch
area.

Of course, this starts to blur the line between `status' and
`update'. Suppose the status command tells you that your locally
modified file is currently in conflict. What then? What are you
going to do about it? Do you expect to see the conflict in a scratch
area? Are you going to update that one file to see the conflict? I'm
not sure I understand what itch is being scratched.
