Description

It is a common problem to troubleshoot dependencies issues (FSharp.Core looking at you). show-installed-packages works on a per project basis, but it does not provide the option to recurse to sub folders, to pick up transitive projects. It would be a good feature if we could provide an option to allow show-installed-packages to recurse a specified folder.

Research direction

Start at the show-installed-packages command entry point and trace how it selects a project folder. Define how a specified folder should be traversed to discover transitive projects, then verify that the command reports installed packages from those projects when recursion is enabled.
