I think we should start refusing to commit changes to or in an 'incomplete' directory, in order to keep things simple. I don't see a practical reason why such a commit should be supported, only the eternal desire to keep backward-compatibility. Back-compat is very important to me in general, but here it appears to me that we have an example of a behaviour which isn't wanted and merely happened to exist. (I mean the ability to commit a dir while it's marked 'incomplete' is not important, I don't mean nobody ever finds a use for it.) Please speak up if I'm wrong about that. - Julian
