"hg help status" says
! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked)

"hg update" just changes the parent revision of your working directory
and updates the working directory with the changes happened between the
old and new parent revision. When the parent revision isn't changed it
doesn't update anything.
You could use "hg up -C", but that would loose your changes to .bashrc.
You could use "hg revert" and specify the files it should restore in
your working directory. "--all" will also revert your changes to .bashrc.
