You can use "addremove" to let hg automatically add/remove all files
that are not ignored before
committing. If you are really adventurous, you can even use the -A
option to commit, which runs
an explicit addremove before committing. Even better, if you really
like the "every commit automatically
removes files", you can configure an alias in your .hgrc:
[alias]
ca = commit -A

(you can even write "commit = commit -A", essentially performing an
implicit addremove before every commit)

Just be sure that you have your .hgignore correctly configured.
Otherwise, you will find your commits littered with temporary/binary
files)
