Yeah, for better or worse, tbzr looks at the entire tree, rather than 
only the directory being requested.  There was some discussion with the 
core developers about how to best avoid this, but the answer was, 
basically, "don't worry, it will be fine.  TSVN does it because svn 
sucks and is slow - the bzr status is fast so will not be a problem". 
Although I was skeptical, that is where the discussion and 
implementation was left...
