I dislike temporary files, a shell pipe can't catch errors in earlier
stages without major hackery, Linus didn't have a problem with ripping
it out, and in an earlier life this script was called cvs2bk and called
bk directly, so I kept that.

Enough reasons? ;-)  Sure, none of them really prevent me from doing it,
but OTOH I see no reason to resurrect the shell script either.
