... and one of the reasons it hasn't been committed is because there are
known bugs with some of the commands' handling of rWORKING... for
example, diff.
However, we can't easily test and fix these bugs without first having
support in the command-line client - and meanwhile, it's still broken
for other users of the API. Perhaps we should just commit the patch
to add rWORKING anyway, and try to shake out the bugs afterwards?
I might do that, if there aren't any objections.
