Your request doesn't even make sense. AFAIK, the *only* thing --tree affects is
the output of the package list as part of --pretend (and --ask). If --tree
didn't imply --pretend, 'emerge -uDtv world' would give you the exact same
output as 'emerge -uDv world'.

I am sorry, you are indeed correct. What I should have requested is: a way to have the package list output in non-interactive, package-installing (that is, not --pretend) execution. It may be that --pretend is a little over-loaded currently. (I was confused, at any rate, as you can see.) Thanks, --Dan
