When you use the standard commands to add/removes files from the
agenda, it will write a definition for the variable org-agenda-files to
the custom section of your .emacs file.

If you want to deal with trees of files, you might be better off
removing the variable from the custom section, defining it
yourself and updating it manually.

I would find it useful to be able to switch to an "*Org Agenda Files
Buffer*", edit this and save it to update - but I don't suppose anyone 
would think it worth the effort of coding.

As an interesting aside - if in Dired I rename a file that I am
currently visiting, the buffer's name will be changed automatically.
However, org-agenda-files will not be updated in this case.
