That would be better, certainly, but I'm not sure it's limited to 
workspace access. For example, in various places we omit printing 
details of the root dir, presumably because it doesn't have a sensible 
name. Or at least we used to, I haven't been in the code that much 
recently and things could certainly have changed.
