I know that's an old ticket, but it would be very useful for me. Having a very big repo, with a lot of extra generated files everywhere, sometime, I want a list of extra files on a sub-directory only.

Without changing the default behavior as it was suggested on this ticket originally, Instead to work from current directory, it might have an argument to specify the wanted sub-path. So original behavior will not be modify when called without argument.

And I'm sure that this kind of argument which isolate a subtree can be useful for many other fossil command. Like timeline, changes, etc..
