Added hint about using .gitignore in git status while printing untracked files Basically, many users don't come to know about .gitignore functionality in their starting stages of git and wonder over how to keep the build or doc files without tracking by git. So, if we add a line saying about gitignore while printing help to add untracked files in git status output, it can be very useful
