I want to make sure my regexp in .htignore are working correctly. Before adding files to the repository, I would like to see which files hg add command would add. How can I do this?

    “hg status” will as the name implies show you the status of the files.

    From “hg help status”

    The codes used to show the status of files are:
M = modified
A = added
R = removed
C = clean
! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked)
? = not tracked
I = ignored
  = origin of the previous file listed as A (added)

    You can also run “hg add -n” which is dry run and will only print the output but not do any thing to the repository.
