Hm.  Even if there are other version-controlled files beneath the 
current directory?

I can change this behavior.  But I was preserving an earlier capability 
to say, in effect, "tell me what has changed under this directory,
*without* making me list all the files to diff".

I think people are likely to become quite upset with me if I
remove that.
