Where would you like it to report that 'P'. On directories with depth <
svn_depth_infinity?
(Trying to think of a place where that makes sense)
$ svn status
M subversion\libsvn_wc\update_editor.c
M subversion\libsvn_wc\wc-queries.sql
M subversion\libsvn_wc\wc_db.c
M subversion\libsvn_wc\wc_db.h
Would that indicate a change on a directory? (Otherwise sparse directories
aren't even in the output of svn status)
(Adding yet another column doesn't make things more understandable)
Maybe in svn status -v?
svn info already reports sparse directories, but it currently has no way to
report excluded subdirectories and files. (Which I see as another kind of
sparse directories). And if we think of adding excluded as sparse, something
tells me that we should also look at absent.
Just one thing: One of the major objectives of WC-NG is to make 'svn status'
noticeable faster. Adding more calculations to that might work in the
opposite direction.
