When i run «git status» on a cloned git repo with
build files around i get

$ git status
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       git-help--browse
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

So i think something like this is needed

Thanks for your time.

Well, git-help--browse is not used any more. It has been replaced by 
git-web--browse. (In fact git-help--browse.sh was renamed 
git-web--browse.sh see: 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=history;f=git-web--browse.sh)

So you can safely delete it.

Thanks,
Christian.
