Actually two things. One was that get_path_status() had to be fixed to
work with the workspace root (and then this broke pivot_root, so that
had to be fixed as well...). Another was that trying to add a
nonexistent file would crash instead of giving a nice error (because
addition_builder assumed that if it was told not to be recursive, it
would be given only existing files). There were also several test cases
that had to be adjusted for the new behavior.

It tells monotone to not use the ignore_file() hook, so you can add
ignorable files without using --nostd and losing all your other hooks.
And it also has a slightly more clear name for that purpose.

<MasterYoda> how do I add ignorable files to monotone?
<njs> MasterYoda: the hack is --nostd, which prevents the default ignore
hook from being used
<uep> yeah. the problem with just adding a file if its named explicitly
on the command line, even if it would otherwise be ignored, is that
shell globs can expand to include ignored files
<uep> after some thought, we decided it would be a bug to add something
in that case - and we can't tell whether the files named came from a
glob or were typed by the user directly
