hg add - forgetting to add files

[Felix -]

you could always commit with 'hg ci -A'.
the downside is sometimes it will add files you didn't expect.
I generally do 'hg st' right before any commit,
and sometimes I do 'hg diff' too.
this works better if you keep your .hgignore updated,
so that normally you have zero '?' lines in hg status.
