Maybe so. However, when changing a ? to an A in the editor on a
directory, the recursive behavior will happen at *commit time*, ie in
an irreversible fashion. This could mean appending megabytes or even
gigabytes of data to ~/.svk, and we all know how painful it is to get
rid of unwanted revisions in the underlying Subversion repository.

I therefore think it is a bad idea, and that consistency should yield
to the principle of least astonishment.
