We've had this discussion before, as I recall...
Maybe we'd need to have a section in the manual explaining the
rationale behind choices like these.
Personally, I currently prefer to have to say something explicit than
have a "surprise" addition of files just because I forgot that it was
recursive by default...
Well, at the moment we have the surprise non-addition of files. I've
been
bitten by this to.
Perhaps a warning is all that is needed. When adding an
unknown directory, check if it has any files in it. If it does
then print a warning that you might want to either a) call
add --unknown again to add just one more level or use
--recursive in future.
That way it is clear what is going on.
Cheers,
Will :-}
