After all, if you're working on a sub-sub-dir of your project, you're just as likely to want to look at the sub-dir as wanting to look at the actual root. And this feature wouldn't require any new VC-function. You can link to every dir, but not every dir belongs in the project. Anyway, you have a good point: why omit linking to intervening (between default and root) dirs. Latest patch (see other reply) no longer discriminates. thi
