A solution is implemented, but it's not clear it should be promoted to main. Summary:

In mtn 1.0, add had two different defaults for --recursive; when --unknown is specified, --recursive defaults to true, when --unknown is not specified, --recursive defaults to false.

The fix changes that. It adds the option --[no]-recursive to 'ls unknown' and 'ls ignored' (because that logic is used in 'add'). Now, for 'add', --unknown is orthogonal to --recursive, and the default for --recursive is false.

This preserves the mtn 1.0 behavior for 'mtn add' (except that the warning about some files not added is gone), but for 'mtn add --unknown', we now need to explicitly add '--recursive'.

Case 1:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------

1. mkdir foo
2. touch foo/bar
3. mtn list unknown foo/bar

Expected result:
----------------
foo/bar

Actual results:
---------------
[no output]

I think this is a bug, since foo/bar was specified on the command line and it is not known.


Case 2:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
-------------------------------

1. mkdir foo
2. touch foo/bar
3. mtn list unknown foo

Expected result:
----------------
foo
foo/bar

Actual results:
---------------
foo

I consider this a bug also, but you could perhaps argue it is 'by design'.  I would prefer to see all files and directories under an unknown directory included in the 'mtn list unknown' output.



Output of `mtn version --full`:
-------------------------------
0.99.1
