I think the problem is with the following ``feature'' of "bzr add": Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will implicit= ly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means you should nev= er need to explicitly add a directory, they=E2=80=99ll just get added = when you add a file in the directory. The second sentence explains the rationale behind this feature. But in this case, Bob mistakenly added a single file, and that ended up adding the whole directory. By contrast, "cvs add" is explicitly non-recursive, AFAIR. The question is: how do we tell users, and especially non-experienced ones, to avoid this pitfall? Obviously, discouraging the use of "bzr add" is a non-starter.
