Well if they stumble upon this case during the previous deprecation phase, they ought to set commit.ignoreIntentToAdd. If it's not set, they probably do not have prior experience with this feature. With their fresh mind, they hopefully learn the new default behavior via to-be-updated git-add.txt so no warnings for them.
