As usual, our expectations differ. In the future, please don't try to
guess mine :).

I expect it to say "what do you mean by this?" in the form of an error,
as it currently does.

But the immediate question remains:

Is the undrop branch ready to propagate to main (I think not; we need to
do something about 'undrop' (no --recursive))

Do you agree that simply dropping the --recursive option is ok?
