Disable SourceTree from automatically adding files on commit

Question

Our team has a Mercurial repository, and is in the process of switching from using Tortoise to SourceTree as the GUI client. I'm finding that when I commit in SourceTree (v1.4.1.0 for Windows), it automatically adds all untracked files to the repository, whereas in Tortoise the files remained untracked until/unless I explicitly added them to the repository.

I'd prefer that SourceTree not add new files to the repository automatically, but I cannot figure out how to disable the default auto-add behavior. Therefore, my question is:

Q: Is it possible to configure SourceTree to refrain from adding new files to the repository on commit, by default?

Thank you, in advance.

Did you ever find a setting for this? Using git as well and this auto-adding of files is extremely annoying...

Ah, I had no idea that was a difference. I only use Git, so I can't really help here.

From a bit of web searching, it appears that "staging" is a Git feature without a (built-in) equivalent in Mercurial. That said, I'm pretty new to all of this and could easily be wrong. Is there a staged/selected option in SourceTree when using Mercurial?
