"path" is also very ambiguous. I see that "tracked" is often used to
describe what %f is, so how about:
+ Note that "%f" is the name of a file tracked by Git. Depending on the
+ version that is being filtered, the corresponding file on disk may not
+ exist, or may have different contents. So, smudge and clean commands should
+ not try to access the file on disk.
