The code on the net.venge.monotone.restrictions branch does allow for 
operations within subdirectories of a working copy. You're right about 
the problem of when to stop searching up the tree, at the moment it's 
not very particular and any higher level MT directory will do.

This code also changes the behaviour of the add command, and several 
others so that they do not create MT directories. You must explicitly 
ask for a new MT directory to be created before add et. al. will be able 
to add files to a new working copy. A new command (setup dir) is used to 
do this.

Unfortunately the restrictions work was done before (or around the same 
time as) the changesets work and has not yet been integrated. I have 
started to look at doing the merge but it looks a little messy so it may 
take a bit.
