[Gnu-arch-users] working in subdirectories

Let's say I have

   % tla changes
   * looking for address@hidden/emacs--monnier--0--patch-14 to compare with
   * comparing to address@hidden/emacs--monnier--0--patch-14
   M  lisp/progmodes/compile.el
   M  leim/quail/latin-ltx.el
   M  lisp/smerge-mode.el

If I try it in `lisp' I get:

   % cd lisp
   % tla changes
   * looking for address@hidden/emacs--monnier--0--patch-14 to compare with
   * comparing to address@hidden/emacs--monnier--0--patch-14
   M  lisp/progmodes/compile.el
   M  leim/quail/latin-ltx.el
   M  lisp/smerge-mode.el
   % 

whereas I'd like to get

   % cd lisp
   % tla changes
   * looking for address@hidden/emacs--monnier--0--patch-14 to compare with
   * comparing to address@hidden/emacs--monnier--0--patch-14
   M  progmodes/compile.el
   M  smerge-mode.el
   % 

The difference being not just that the output is a little shorter but that
tla should not stat/read/thinkabout any file outside the `lisp' subtree, so
the speed would be significantly improved.

Actually I expected `tla changes -- lisp' to do that, but it doesn't work
at all (without even complaing):

   % tla changes -- lisp
   * looking for address@hidden/emacs--monnier--0--patch-14 to compare with
   * comparing to address@hidden/emacs--monnier--0--patch-14
   %
