But you can get into some odd situations if you support both, like a
mixed working copy that may require checking every subdir for which one
it uses -- which could turn into a perf problem without adding some
caching (which means more complexity). And which do you write out if a
wc contains both kinds in it's subdirs and you add a new subdir? And
what happens if you find (eek) both?
I would prefer a simple one-or-the-other config option, myself, but I
realize I have no real vote or say. Just pointing out things I
encountered when I was fiddling with 'just making it work either way' a
while ago -- some of which were pointed out by Brane back then.
