RFC -- new 'svn status' symbol

So now we have wc directories possibly marked as "incomplete". When
'svn up' sees this marker, it assumes the the list of entries is
incomplete, and resorts to cvs-style reporting to the server: "assume
I have nothing to start with, and here's what I *do* have."

Anyway, it seems pretty important that 'svn status' print out some new
symbol for incomplete directories. I mean, if I start a large
checkout and interrupt it, 'svn status' currently says nothing about
the working copy. It should tell me that the wc is only half-baked.

Anyone have a new bikeshed^H^H^H^H^H^H symbol for 'svn st' to display
for an incomplete directory? Maybe a '#'?

... in fact, I'm guessing that a whole bunch of other subcommands
probably need to notice the 'incomplete' flag on directories and just
bail out. You probably don't want to commit from an incomplete dir,
or do a directory propset, or start scheduling adds/deletes, and so
on.
