When a good user sees the "too long, consider -uno" advice when running `git status`, they should check out the man page to find out more. This change suggests they try untracked cache before -uno.

 to find untracked files in the filesystem, this mode may take some

+Consider enabling untracked cache and split index if supported (see

 return more quickly without showing untracked files.

 The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles
