Newbie question: Why did bzr add miss a directory?

I'm new to bzr (used rcs/sccs/cvs/svn previously) so be gentle on
me... (tell me which part of The Fine Manual I should have read more closely :)

So I did the quick start thingie...

cd ~/grand
bzr init
bzr add
bzr commit -m 'New stuff'

But "bzr status" lists one of my directories as unknown...

bzr status
unknown:
   protocols/

ls -a
.  ..  .bzr  help  protocols  scheme  stubs  xdr_parser

Any idea why?


bzr --version
Bazaar (bzr) 1.6
   Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.5.2
   Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.5
   bzrlib: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib
   Bazaar configuration: /home/johnc/.bazaar
   Bazaar log file: /home/johnc/.bzr.log

bzr info
Standalone tree (format: pack-0.92)
Location:
   branch root: .

Ah... thats a question too, the point about v1.6 seems to a repository
format that supports stacking and rich root data, yet the default
seems to be the older format. Should I override the default?

Running on Ubuntu 8.0.4.1
