Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will implicitly
add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means you should never
need to explicitly add a directory, they ll 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 feature is clearly a convenience in the case where you are not
making a mistake. Should `bzr add' ask for confirmation before doing
this?
