Correct, it overrides the command, not the function.  I'm not sure why it 
was done that way (it may have been a conscious decision because there are 
other cases where commands are overridden instead of repo functions), but 
overriding the command should be sufficient.

(I think the line went missing)

I'm stumped.  It doesn't seem like a largefiles problem though, since it 
_does_ work when called by hg.exe.  I thought maybe the command table was 
getting reset somehow prior to being used, but even calling 
extensions.loadall() or calling uisetup() on largefiles directly didn't 
help- printing out the add method before and after those calls printed the 
same thing.
