So just to be clear, the *changes* from the current behaviour would be:

 * 'bzr ignore' shows the path of the relevant ignore file.
   (OK)

 * 'bzr ignore' with no arguments shows the list of ignore patterns?
   (I'm not so sure about this, though it could be OK under an
   option.)

 * bzr ignore with absolute paths turns them into branch-root-relative
   relative paths before adding them (also reasonable, matches what we
   do with other commands.)

I'll watch out for the test cases.
