I find it useful for status to show files that are new in the repository
and don't yet exist in the sandbox, but as far as I can tell status will
only do this if you give it the name of the new-in-repository file, so
you have to already know about it. It's an easy change to add an
option so status will find and show such files - in cvsstatus() just add
W_REPOS to the which argument to start_recursion().
1. are there pitfalls here, or reasons not to do this?
2. what character would make sense for this new option, eg -a for "all"?
-r for "repository" is logical except for the widespread use of -r for
specifying revisions.
thanks,
scott
