I suggest to call this command 'tree-revision'. It is more intuitive.

A user may confuse 'tree-id' with the arch id of the tree directory.
[AFAIR, there were plans to make the root directory arch controlled.]
Or he may think that arch computes some unique id for each tree on the
disk, or maybe a checksum of all files.

If the command prints the fully qualified revision name, then it should
be called 'tree-revision' in my opinion.

I think that conceptually 'changes' is a better term than 'status' and
'diff' for listing changed files and computing a changeset. But I may
feel the pressure from cvs/svn users, so I can live with this.

I would like to have a flag to restore the old functionality when two
arguments are given. There are several cases when this is useful. We had
a discussion on the -dev list a month ago.

Other changes look good to me.
