Re: [Monotone-devel] non-recursive add considered harmful

[Sebastian]

Hello there,

just from users point of view:

The question is: what is consistency?

I use monotone cvs git, and svn depending on the project I work on, and
the people I work with. Having recursive add in mtn would bother me,
since it would behave different from the add command in all SCMs I
know. 

Making a recursive add command the default means inconsistency to me,
leading to many 'dead files' in repositories (files accidentally added
and thus removed again).


In all situations I use the add command, I know what I want to add to
the repository.


And in the most cases I do not want to add all the files recursively,
since my workspace contains files meant for local use configuration, or
testing only.


The only recursive add command I know is import.


add --unknown should behave recursively.
