+Has similar problems to batching find; if a whole directory is added any
+number of lines can be output.
+
+So, either needs a similar thing to indicate end of output for current
+item, or perhaps it would make sense for the batched add to not recurse
+into directories, so it would always output exactly 1 line per input.

+Couldn't you use the existing info --batch for the same purpose?
+
+batching find has the problem that it can output any number of lines
+(0 for a non-annexed file, 1 for an annexed file, N for a directory). So,
+the consumer has no way to tell when it reaches the end of output. So some
+additional thing would be needed to indicate end of output.
