* Apply patch from hb that uses the full path to a file when adding a file

  using the mercurial backend. Not 100% sure why it failed w/o the full
  path, but this still passes the test suite, and indeed, is how the test
  suite calls hg add.

+I don't know what's wrong but I can't add a file with the mercurial backend (the file is created but not added).

+Here is a patch that's seems to work, although I'm not quite sure what's wrong with current code :
