These aren't really good either: they all refer to only the path that
was chosen to show the log for. But the checkbox and its feature will
show/filter paths that are the chosen path and all paths below it. So
not just the selected path but all its children too.

That's why I chose "affected paths" for the checkbox. Not the best
wording maybe, but more accurate than e.g. "only chosen path".
