Well, not with respect to merging. A dirty working directory is one
which would allow you to commit some file changes. Untracked files don't
do that. Only already-tracked files that are modified, already-tracked
files that are removed (or renamed) or new files that are created (or
copied) make the dirstate dirty in this respect.

In other words, only if "hg status -mar" shows anything.
