It will traverse direct subdirectories, no deeper. Granted, bad 
cases will cause a lot of unneeded stats. The advantage is that you 
get all the information you need about the current directory, i.e. 
including added or deleted files.

Unless I am missing something, if you want to pass 'status' an 
explicit list of names you need to build this list by statting all 
entries in the current directory and add the relevant entries from 
the manifest.
