RE: Always ADD necessary (the first time) before COMMITs ?

[Rez P]

Yes, you have to add new files and folders before committing them.  You have 
introduced new subfolder structure under an existing project, it's easier to 
use the import command which combines both add and commit into one step but 
your new subfolder structure cannot contain existing files, if it does, you 
have to do add and commit subsequently.
