Hi Bernt,

how about

C-x n s    ; to narrow
C-c C-v    ; to show todo tree
C-x n w    ; to widen again.

or

C-c C-x b  ; get get current tree in an indirect buffer to work with.
C-c C-v    ; in the new buffer, to see the limited todo tree.
C-x k RET  ; to remove the indirect buffer after you are done.
