If you accidently add an entire tree when you only wanted to add one
file (where did those files come from?) then that could be a lot of
drops.

(yes, been in this situation with svn, and hated it; although I seem
to recall svn's remove command didn't always work as required in this
situation).

Typically I like to add files one at a time, so I can see what is
being added, and why. It also makes it easier when writing scripts to
automatically add files.
