Chris@496: {Making changes}
Chris@496: 
Chris@496: I've added a new file: what do I do with it?
Chris@496: 
Chris@496: When you add a new file in the working folder, you normally want to
Chris@496: ensure that Mercurial keeps track of changes to that file -- and that
Chris@496: the file is included in all copies of the repository.  To do this, you
Chris@496: need to tell Mercurial to _track_ the file by adding it to version
Chris@496: control.
Chris@496: 
Chris@496: EasyMercurial shows files that have been created but not added in the
Chris@496: *"Untracked"* file list under "My Work".  (If your file is not listed
Chris@496: there, try clicking the Refresh button.)
Chris@496: 
Chris@496: *1. Find the file you want to add in the Untracked list and select it*
Chris@496: 
Chris@496: *2. Click Add in the toolbar on the left of the window*
Chris@496: 
Chris@496: The file will be moved to the *"Added"* list.  This tells Mercurial to
Chris@496: track the file.  The next time you commit, the contents of your new
Chris@496: file will be recorded as part of that change set.
Chris@496: 
Chris@496:  * Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is *hg add*
Chris@496: 
Chris@496: Of course, you don't always want to track every file in your working
Chris@496: copy.  Object files generated by a compiler, output files from tests,
Chris@496: etc should often not be included in version control.  You can ensure
Chris@496: that such files don't show up in the Untracked list by right-clicking
Chris@496: on them and choosing *"Ignore..."*.
