The key difference between that example and yours is this at the top:

"cd some_existing_hg_repository"

The existing example assumes there is a repo with a bunch of
already-tracked files in it.

In your example, you have a brand new repo and a brand new file. And
Mercurial, like most other SCMs, will NEVER just automatically start
tracking new files without you telling it to.
