Our repo is set up in a way that when I have a load rule in my config spec like
"load vobs/gtx2", the lshistory command is getting run in the snapshot view at
the parent of that and gets an error because, apparently, "vobs" is not a vob
element.

It would be nice if you could specify a specific path to feed into the lshistory
command. For me, "vobs/*" works from the command line.

Here's the error output in case it helps:

Done loading "/vobs/gtx2" (16879 objects, copied 0 KB).
