[issue2518] Inconsistent subrepo recursion

[Ethan Tira-Thompson]

New submission from Ethan Tira-Thompson <ejt at cmu.edu>:

I just got a little burned by inconsistent subrepo usage.
The problem is that 'hg status' does not show modified files in subrepos 
unless you explicitly add the -S option.  However, 'hg ci' will commit those 
changes by default without flags.
This leads to committing unexpected modifications, which is kind of annoying.

My solution would be to make the '-S' option the default (see Issue1813).  
Instead, provide a -l / --local to *prevent* recursion.  IMHO, if you have 
subrepos, by default you want to include them, not ignore them.  Particularly 
for an information action like status, better safe than sorry.
