Yes they can. By internals I mean that we internally operate on full
tree snapshots, but that the end user often is working with many related
modules in one 'tree', and *their* intent may well be to commit 'this
dir down' *more often* than it is to 'commit this whole tree'.

Oh, I was thinking of the baz annotate that operates on trees.

Indeed, it is a UI issue.
