Thanks, that looks good to me:

# It took 2.58 seconds to enumerate untracked files. # Consider the -u option for a possible speed-up?

But: If I follow the advice as is given and use "git status -u", the result is the same.

If I think loud, would it be better to say:

# It took 2.58 seconds to search for untracked files. # Consider the -uno option for a possible speed-up?

or

# It took 2.58 seconds to search for untracked files. # Consider the -u option for a possible speed-up? # Please see git help status
