Robert has published his LLVM 18 update for OpenBSD base.  As a
first step to testing this, I want to apply the changes to a src
checkout and then commit them to a branch.

Let's stop here.  At this point, "got status" reports numerous
modified files 'M' and missing files '!', but no unversioned files '?'.

$ got st -s \? gnu/llvm
$ 

However, extracting the archive has certainly added new files.
Why don't they show up as unversioned items?

Now, when I try to remove the missing files '!':

$ got rm -R -s ! gnu/llvm
D  gnu/llvm/clang/ModuleInfo.txt
got: gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/Release.cmake: file has unexpected status

Let's check:

$ got st gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/Release.cmake
?  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/Release.cmake

Huh.

$ got st gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches               
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/BOLT-PGO.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/BOLT.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/CrossWinToARMLinux.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/Fuchsia-stage2.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/Fuchsia.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/PGO.cmake

$ got st gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/*
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/BOLT-PGO.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/BOLT.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/CrossWinToARMLinux.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/Fuchsia-stage2.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/Fuchsia.cmake
M  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/PGO.cmake
?  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/Release.cmake
?  gnu/llvm/clang/cmake/caches/VectorEngine.cmake

So running "got status" on a a new, unversioned file shows it as
such, but a recursive status simply ignores it.  Is that a bug or
is my expectation wrong?
