Note that in monotone, just "add"ing the files won't make any
permanent changes or leave any dead files, at least until you commit.
If you add a directory recursively, we print all the files scheduled
for addition: in the add output, and in "stat", and in the
message template comment for "commit".

If you see a problem at any of these stages, where you've added a file
you didn't want, you can always drop that file again before
committing, and there'll be no record of it.
