Given that you are getting "you told me to make a commit without preparing anything to commit" error message, I think it can be argued in both ways.

    $ git commit -q -uno -m 'meaningless message'

would omit the listing of Untracked files; a better alternative, depending on what are listed in the section (I take "a123" is an example made-up for reproduction recipe, and you are probably getting something like 'foo.bak' in real life), might be to update your .gitignore, though.
