My recollection is that the current behaviour was requested
specifically by the users. Although I do not remember offhand,
the first implementation might have even been doing the whole
tree unconditionally, and surprised users by stepping outside of
the current subdirectory.
Sometimes I am annoyed that it does not do the whole tree
(i.e. you have to go to the top), but some other times (which
happens to be majority for me but it would depend on the
project) I find the current behaviour a lot more convenient, and
personally I do not think it is a good idea to change the
current behaviour.
Please send in documentation clarifications.
