adding hidden directories?

[Peter Arrenbrecht]

Short version: Make your .hgignore not ignore .jedit.

Longer version: Firstly, I would suspect you have a rule in .hgignore
that ignores dirs starting with a period. Secondly, hg only tracks
files, not dirs. So you cannot explictly add normally .hgignore'd
dirs, only files. Normal hg add with a dir argument will add
everything that is *not*.hgignored'd* in that dir.
