Oh. It's funny how the way a program is implemented can change bugs into
features.
So rec -l needs the existing behaviour. I definitely think this should
remain consistent with whatsnew -l, and the existing behaviour of
whatsnew -l is *sometimes* useful anyway.
Does this affect add in any way? If so, that might complicate things
further. I sometimes think a warning or even an error when adding a file
in a directory not tracked would be useful.
How hard would it be to add another option alongside -l to give this
behaviour? I haven't thought of a suitable letter to use yet. Maybe -L?
The downside to this is that it might take me years to retrain myself to
type the new option!
