Not sure I follow you. Should I

1. push the patch I sent most recently

OR

2. or add a #:recursive? argument to `find-files', and push a patch
which uses this new `find-files'?

IMO, approach 2 is a better idea, though it could be that we are adding
too many keyword arguments to `find-files'.

WDYT?
