Isn't it just that you have to add the subdirectories as well (but of
course not their contents)?

    % mkdir test
    % cd test
    % darcs inittree
    Successfully initialized tree!
    % mkdir -p foo/bar/baz
    % touch foo/bar/baz/foo.py
    % darcs add foo/bar/baz/foo.py
    Skipping:
    addfile ./foo/bar/baz/foo.py
    % darcs add foo
    % darcs add foo/bar
    % darcs add foo/bar/baz
    % darcs add foo/bar/baz/foo.py
    % darcs whats
    {
    adddir ./foo
    adddir ./foo/bar
    adddir ./foo/bar/baz
    addfile ./foo/bar/baz/foo.py
    }
