Yes, that is the purpose of that command. It will also mark missing
files as removed.

If you are using Ubuntu or Debian, then please check if you have the
inotify extension enabled (see 'hg help inotify'). That extension tries
to speed up directory scans, but it is known to have bugs.


I use Mercurial under Windows XP. Do you know if the distro for Windows also 
has that problem?
(Because under Windows I do hg status and it doesn't show any file.)

And when I push the files to the repository on the server... well, that 
server is under Ubuntu, but I think it is not a problem.

Thank you.
