<tr class="field-even field"><th class="field-name">Description:</th><td class="field-body"><p class="first">In non-recursive mode, all the named items are added, regardless
of whether they were previously ignored. A warning is given if
any of the named files are already versioned.</p>
<p>In recursive mode (the default), files are treated the same way
but the behaviour for directories is different. Directories that
are already versioned do not give a warning. All directories,
whether already versioned or not, are searched for files or
subdirectories that are neither versioned or ignored, and these
are added. This search proceeds recursively into versioned
directories. If no names are given ‘.’ is assumed.</p>
<p>A warning will be printed when nested trees are encountered,
unless they are explicitly ignored.</p>
<p>Therefore simply saying ‘bzr add’ will version all files that
are currently unknown.</p>
<p>Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
you should never need to explicitly add a directory, they’ll just
get added when you add a file in the directory.</p>
<p>–dry-run will show which files would be added, but not actually
add them.</p>
<p>–file-ids-from will try to use the file ids from the supplied path.
It looks up ids trying to find a matching parent directory with the
same filename, and then by pure path. This option is rarely needed
but can be useful when adding the same logical file into two
branches that will be merged later (without showing the two different
adds as a conflict). It is also useful when merging another project
into a subdirectory of this one.</p>
<p>Any files matching patterns in the ignore list will not be added
unless they are explicitly mentioned.</p>
<p>In recursive mode, files larger than the configuration option
add.maximum_file_size will be skipped. Named items are never skipped due
to file size.</p>
