Note that I don't really mind running `tla inventory'.
Ideally, I'd like to find the answer even when tla is not installed, but
I understand it's unlikely to happen any time soon. But what I really need
is an efficient way to get the answer, with or without tla.
Right now, even with tla I can't get the answer without potentially
traversing the whole tree, even though I only want to know the sourceness
status of one file.
I.e. I just need to be able to say something like
tla inventory --source <file>
rather than
tla inventory --source `dirname <file>` | grep <file>
