<nowiki><tt>fossil add *</tt></nowiki> will happily add all files in current dir, and subdirs if present.Subsequent <nowiki><tt>fossil commit *</tt></nowiki> will fail on the subdirectories, though, saying they're not part of the repo.

There is no file_isdir() handling in the <nowiki><tt>ci/commit</tt></nowiki> code, and even more confusingly, the object-types and style seem different between the two (<tt>add</tt> and <tt>ci/commit</tt>) blocks.

Could these share a common function that recurses into dirs and returns strings/objects that are the files? Could <nowiki><tt>fossil ci *</tt></nowiki> be made to behave same as <nowiki><tt>fossil add *</tt></nowiki>?

add and ci/commit are inconsistent wrt "*" handling
