I think the default ought to be the recursive one (as it seems to be
for other systems (those that I use, anyway)). However, I've no idea
whether either option is better in any objective sense.

Jonathan Shapiro argued against that, based on some experience with
OpenCM. It annoys me, too, but I can see the arguments on both sides.
It doesn't seem at all clear that what monotone does now is wrong.
A possibly related change (to the "ls unknown" and "ls ignored"
behaviours) would be to ignore entirely subdirectories with a _MTN
directory. I guess that would be uncontroversial?
