Yes. I don't have a real preference. I have a slight suspicion that
the hint is useful for newbies because having only untracked files is
the initial situation, but the hint in my patch is actually wrong
because git-commit won't help in this situation. Do you want to revert
the patch and apply yours or should I send a correction?
