Um, and how do I add a file called "*" then?

Similar things were discussed in mercurial list lately. The net result seems
to be that filenames should be interpreted as globs if and only if any of:
- In configuration, including especially list of ignored files.
- We are running on Windows (os.name == 'nt' or os.name ==
  i-don't-know-what-Win95/98-say).
- We are explicitly asked to do so.

    bzr add .
