Actually; I find this feature the best feature of Darcs and using the '.' 
for the one or two times I actually want only the current dir makes sense 
and makes me not loose any functionality.

Indeed; the functionality of darcs is logical based on the fact that darcs 
is patch based and not tree or file based.
CVS and SVN only work on the current dir because they see each subdir as a 
separate repo.  SVN also has lots of problems in consistency for 
recursiveness being defaut for commans (add v.s revert for example), 
another thing I really don't want to copy.

No, the way darcs choose to do things makes sense and should be kept.
