For example:

apt-add-repository ppa:sevenmachines/release+1

creates a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sevenmachines-release+1-lucid.list.

However, man sources.list says

File names need to end with .list and may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-) and period (.) characters. Otherwise they will be silently ignored.

So that's what happens.
