$ hg help add
hg add [OPTION]... [FILE]...

add the specified files on the next commit

     Schedule files to be version controlled and added to the repository.

     The files will be added to the repository at the next commit. To 
undo an
     add before that, see "hg forget".

... or are you using a very old Mercurial version that predates the 
'forget' command?
