Cool ;-)

Just another thought - it could also be nice that you could ask for just 
the changes to the directory itself and not its contents which would be 
the same as the current behavior I guess. So for a directory it would be 
nice if there were 3 different log options that could be specified:

    - Directory and contents recursively
    - Directory and its contents (but not contents of sub-directories - 
ie non-recursive)
    - Just the directory and not its contents at all.

I would guess a sensible default is the first one. Having all 3 would 
make everyone happy - but not sure how you would specify these modes on 
the command line and if it is really worth implementing the last one 
anyway....
