Yes, that is the purpose of that command. It will also mark missing
files as removed.

If you are using Ubuntu or Debian, then please check if you have the
inotify extension enabled (see 'hg help inotify'). That extension tries
to speed up directory scans, but it is known to have bugs.

If you do have it enabled, then add

  [extensions]
  inotify = !

to your ~/.hgrc file to disable it again or edit the global
configuration file under /etc/mercurial.
