Just to note, when using pkgdev, I use mainly the command `pkgdev commit
-as`, which stands for auto add files in current working pkg and run
scan *before commit* - which is identical to `repoman full -dx`.

I think I'm going to add configuration mode to pkgdev, so you can set
scan mode to on by default (you can pass `--scan false` to disable it).
