svn status has a quirk: --verbose not only makes it display more
information about each file, but also changes the set of files of
which the status is shown, by recursing one level into any named
directories. I feel non-orthogonal behaviour like this will be a
nuisance in the long run, making it harder to write scripts that use
svn.
 
 
 Only one level, or N levels (that is, all the way down?)

Only one level. OK, recurse isn't the right word. Here is an
example; note no output for the first case:

[This example also shows the way it ignores files in the ignore list
when doing an implicit expansion of a directory, but not when the files
are explicitly given on the command line. But that is a completely
separate issue.]
