    You can also limit the report generation by providing a list of
    subscriptions.

    >>> subscriptions = [Subscription('DIR', BUGDIR_TYPE_NEW),
    ...                  Subscription('b', BUG_TYPE_ALL)]
    >>> r = d.report_tree(subscriptions)
    >>> print r.report_string()
    New bugs:
      abc/c:om: Bug C
    Removed bugs:
      abc/b:cm: Bug B

    While sending subscriptions to report_tree() makes the report
    generation more efficient (because you may not need to compare
    _all_ the bugs, etc.), sometimes you will have several sets of
    subscriptions.  In that case, it's better to run full_report()
    first, and then use report_tree() to avoid redundant comparisons.

    >>> d.full_report()
    >>> print d.report_tree([subscriptions[0]]).report_string()
    New bugs:
      abc/c:om: Bug C
    >>> print d.report_tree([subscriptions[1]]).report_string()
    Removed bugs:
      abc/b:cm: Bug B
