Bruno raised the objection on savannah that this approach is not backwards-compatible (ie. scripts that used just -delete will now fail to do anything). However, I tend to agree with the idea that if we are changing the behavior of -delete, an explicit error that explains what is missing is important. Bruno also had the idea of letting -delete operate without -depth, by letting -delete swap the traversal of that subtree to depth-first while the rest of the traversal is breadth-first prior to encountering the -delete action. I'm not sure that is possible, since my understanding of fts() is that the traversal pattern is picked up front. In other words, let's think this over a bit more before checking anything in. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
