Yeah, "lists" is a pretty non-standard verb to describe an interface.

Even that documentation is ambiguous.  If you have a directory 
named "foo/" with 8 zillion files in it, and you have "^foo" in 
your MANIFEST.SKIP, is it supposed to report all 8 zillion files 
in the list of skipped, or can it merely report the directory?  
I vote for just the directory.
