Association with a changelist is a piece of temporary metadata which
is orthogonal to the file being modifed or not. You can (de)associate
a changelist at any time.

Note that this is a bit different than perforce, but I don't think
that's a bad thing. In perforce, a file is read-only until you 'p4
edit' it, which automatically causes the file to be associated with a
changelist. (If no changelist is specified by the user, then the file
becomes associated with a changelist named 'default'.)

No. There's nothing wrong with attaching a changelist name to an
unmodified file.

In the case of recursion, the only things that should be skipped, I
think, are unversioned items.
