My view is that 'hg status' tells me all the files that have appeared in my tree that I'm either not currently tracking or explicitly ignoring (because the project's automated tools will deal with them). Nothing in there about limiting it to files I might want to track. That is how I've always used my version control systems.

Ok, I understand. However, it also makes things more tedious for other people who don't user their VCS in such a way, so it would be nice how other people feel about this.

Antoine.
