I need to add all not tracked (? marked) files. Is it possible? I can do "hg add *" but I will get many messages unwanted 'file already tracked'.

Answer 1

Just use hg add with no *.

When no files are given, it adds all untracked files, that is, all files with ? in front of the output of hg status.

Files that are ignored because of .hgignore will not be added by hg add without filenames.
