Bug Description

Add or modify files in a branch. For example, add two files 'a' and 'b'.

$ bzr status
added:
  a
  b

Now commit, but exclude 'b'.

$ bzr commit -x b
----
-------------- This line and the following will be ignored --------------

added:
  a
  b
----
added a
Committed revision 1.

Note that the commit message shows that 'b' is added, which I think is misleading, as 'b' is correctly excluded from the commit.
