I'm one of those that decided to use monotone to version my /etc dir
and have this same problem with a /etc/init.d/net.lo file. Monotone
simply refuses to add it because it is an "ignorable" file.

As it's not one of the files I'm more interested in versioning (it's
part of the base layout of my Gentoo system, not a config file), I never
bothered to mess with any lua hook to solve it (I have so many other
things I want to learn before that ;)).

I think monotone should allow us to add an ignorable file to monotone
and continue to ignore others not in the manifest, but I don't have any
idea on how the code is organized, so I let that for other brave soul(s)
more interested on it than me :D
