[darcs-devel] [patch1084] announce added files

[Eric Kow]

Feedback sounds great.

I'm worried about inundating users who have no idea what to expect
  darcs add -r src
  <scrolls off screen>

Users who would not and should not know to use “--quiet”.
(and this is the same no matter how sophisticated the user)

I wonder if there's any sort of clever depth-cut-off mechanism that we
can use here, some packing/expanding algorithm that only expands trees
up to a certain number of lines of output

So you get eg. darcs add -r src

  src/wibble/... [45 files]
  src/wobble/... [33 files]
  ..
  ..
  src/foo .. [6 files]

But the src directory had too many files in it, then you may instead
just see something like

   src [245 files]

But maybe darcs add isn't used on recursively big inputs like this in practice?
