Description

This aligns with the Layout chapter in data-pkg-guide, to keep everything related to a request within the same folder.

Needs a quick review.

Should we add how they end up in the same directory? I.e., it's good practice if the Owner adds the request.yaml to the same directory as the subset so they are together for future reference?

Alternatively, the subset command could place a copy of the request there (since it already gets it as input) if it doesn't already exist? 🤔

Yea, this would go into the guide to tell the Owner what to do.

The default would be that you don't need to give an output as it will create the subset in the location that the request.yaml file is found in. So the output of subset depends on where the request.yaml file lives, not the other way around. Which means we couldn't really put a copy there, as it would just put it in the same location.

It's subsets here and subset (no "s") in the next sentence; is one of them a typo?
