hg init creates a repository by creating and populating the .hg folder 
in the top level folder.

You should not run hg init on subfolders; that will create other 
repositores there which won't be managed from the top-level repository 
(that is unless you use the forest extension).

When you add a file it is added to the list of tracked files in the 
closest repository in the path.
