What equivalence classes do you put them into?

  bundle <-> unbundle ?
  export <-> import <-> diff ?

The wiki page was just a scratch pad for me... I put it there so that
interested parties could have a look and I remember Patrick did so. The
page could probably go now -- it's certainly not describing any sort of

I would probably say

  manifest <-> locate <-> status

so manifest and locate should recurse iff status does.
