This will require a format change, it's not on the current agenda as far as I know.
It should be possible to work around it by writing a simple plugin that operates
in a fashion similar to e.g. etckeeper. Etckeeper hooks into Bazaar and keeps
a metadata file (".etckeeper") up to date with extra file metadata.
