Ah, ok. Thanks for suggestion. However notice that
$ mtn ls --recursive unknown
mtn: misuse: option error: unknown option 'recursive'

Also, I think that mtn add --unknown should imply --recursive. If you
want to add a single directory only, use 'mtn add newdir/' explicitly.
The only purpose that I see in using add --unknown is incorporating new
upstream releases.

Best,
Yury

PS. BTW, another bug: 
$ mtn suspend t:ABC old.branch; mtn co -r t:ABC
mtn: misuse: multiple branch certs found for revision <>, please provide a 
branch name
