Is there anyway to revert this command and re-enable the folder? I was able to re-add to the index all files into the folder by the git add -f pathtofolder command, but new files are not asked to be committed and pushed.

I don't use SourceTree. I doubt that your suggested 
git-add.txt-adduntrackedis the command used, as that is within a command 
line sub-menu.

I would guess that the command was a variant of 
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rm with an option to retain the working 
tree file.

You ask about re-enabling the tracking of a _folder_ - this is a 
misunderstanding as git only tracks the named files, rather than 
complete folders.

To re-track a file, simply use `git add <pathspec>` (see the 
documentation notes about how the pathspec can add the contents of a 
complete folder..).
