Mercurial's status command (at least in<br />version 2.2.2, which I happen to have installed) gives status based on the<br />project root. 'git status' also acts the same way.</blockquote><br

I'm two levels deep in my repo:<br /><br />$ git status<br /># ../run.txt<br /># ../tape1conv.log<br /># tape1conv.log<br />...<br />nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)<br /><br />That's what I like: file lists relative to my view (pwd)!<br /><br />But I agree that I can alias any required switch to get what I<br />want--if it's available, of course.<br /><br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;">Changing the default is going to break almost all scripts that are out<br />there, IMO. Those that do the equivalent of the bash idiom...<br /><br />{<br /><br />cd $( bzr root )<br /><br /># run whatever status manipulating commands that you want which assume<br /><br /># that your CWD is the project root<br /><br />}<br /><br />...won't notice the change. It seems unlikely to me that many people would<br
/>write their scripts in such a fashion.</blockquote><br />Have you access to a survey indicating that?<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />-Tom<br /><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
