Bug: ignoring files

If a file is ignored by .hgignore, you can't add it to the repo, which
in my opinion is a bug.

Running latest hg (9344f5dd4488).

Here's what happens, when I add '\.jpg$' to .hgignore:

$ hg init foo
$ cd foo/
$ ls -a
.  ..  .hg
$ vi .hgignore    # added '\.jpg$'
$ hg status
? .hgignore
$ hg add .hgignore
$ hg commit
2 files to edit
$ touch foo.jpg
$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 jeffpc users 0 Aug 24 22:30 foo.jpg
$ hg status
$ hg add foo.jpg
$ hg status       # no output
$
