3) hg addrem this adds new files and removes deleted files from local repos. forgetting to add files is a common problem, and is really tricky since no record is made of these files, so if after a couple of versions if a developer finds out a file was missing, the history is useless since you can't reconstruct the old content of that local file anymore, and often it's impossible to give the local file to the other developers since it might be changed. I actually would like to have an option that automatically adds/deletes files on each commit, as it is easier to delete a file after it is checked in, than it is to reconstruct an old version from a local file you forgot to add.
I'm also not glad with darcs behaviour about non-added files. You can try darcs whatsnew --look-for-adds David Roundy's philosophy is that you must add a test compilation with 'darcs setprefs' anyway and this one reveals forgotten files.
4) hg commit -m "message" this commits my changes locally. I always do this before pulling since then I'm sure my changes are saved in the case a merge goes wrong.
In old darcs its precisely the other way round. Since it is so slow on merging ready patches, you better merge uncrecorded changes.
