Bug Description

I saw in answers that this is commonly requested, but I couldn't find a bug report for it, so here goes.

I'm working temporarily on a project, but to get it running in my environment I need to have some local changes I do not wish to commit. I'd like to use bzr view to filter out those changes and create a blacklist, instead of the current way have where I have to whitelist every other file/directory in the worktree.

That's an interesting idea. Another idea to consider is using a loom (or pipeline) and putting the changes you don't want to commit in a thread (or pipe).

Note that view will specifically remove those files from the tree (though I suppose you can then add non-versioned copies). The other commonly requested thing is to have them there but not commit them.
