Somehow I had a lost email here... so if you get this twice... oh well.

I think I'd prefer --no-cache.  "current" doesn't really describe what the
directory does.  Adding such a flag would be pretty easy, and I'd accept
such a patch in a jiffy.  So if someone wants to implement it, that'd be
great (and ideally also include a test to make sure it actually works
right).  Or someone could file a wishlist bug, and I (or another developer)
could flag it as a "confirmed" wishlist bug.
