Hm. I guess I can see the concern, but besides that fact that this

nit-picky, I say we just trust our users to be smart enough to realize
that if a directory is missing from disk, its children are also not
present.

We've made the declaration that running '-u' *means* we are running
status again HEAD. Who needs to assume?
