The one which draw my attention was "(use "git commit" to conclude merge)" which is particularly counter-productive when you are already doing a "git commit". The advice for untracked files is less counter-productive, but while we're removing the non-sensical ones, I think it makes sense to remove the essentially-useless ones too. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
