report and trees take optional PATH operands and use only the records
at or below them. Operands are made absolute and cleaned as text, never
looked up on the filesystem; each reported copy is still checked on
disk. An empty operand is a usage error, as --exclude "" is, since it
would name the working directory. With operands, trees reports only
directories at or below an operand: any other directory lies above an
operand and can hold unused files, so its digest neither gets reported
nor suppresses its children's group. The summary still counts every
record read.
