It is one of the items in the TODO file:

- recursive addition: got add -R

I am not aware of anyone already working on this.

Like revert, the add command should remain non-recursive by default and only
recurse into directories specified on the command line if -R is supplied.
I believe there will be fewer surprises if we keep this rule relatively
consistent across commands that directly manipulate the status of files
in the work tree. See cmd_revert() in got.c for how this can be implemented.
