What, displaying the "?"  files? No, I'd say not.   Auto adding?  
Certainly not for default use!  There's often a reason they are in  
that state.

  For example, I have a config.php and a config.php.dist.   The dist  
file is in svk, but the config.php is for local testing only.   I  
wouldn't want it showing up in a commit log either.

Other examples might be patch files, temporary media files, etc.
