I'm adding options to 'automate inventory' to not output unknown,
ignored, or unchanged files; these provide significant speed
improvements. I'm not clear what the best names are.

One issue is that 'automate stdio' doesn't handle options that don't
take values; according to monotone.texi, the input format is:

    'o' <string> <string> [ <string> <string> [ ... ] ] 'e'

where the pair of strings is 'option name', 'value'.

So the simple boolean options '--no-unknown' etc won't work with
'automate stdio'. Unless the second string can be zero length? I
haven't tried that.

Changing 'automate stdio' to handle no-value options does not seem
straight-forward.

I'm planning to use '--unknown false', '--ignored false', '--unchanged
false', with the default value of 'true' for each option.

Any comments?
