You can run "git add -N <files>" to tell Git to start caring about
some new files (e.g., "git add -N ." to track them all).

Alternatively, you can run "git add <files>" to tell Git that the
current content of those files is ready for commit (e.g., "git add ."
before "git status" and "git commit" to commit everything).

More details are at http://jk.gs/gittutorial.html#_making_changes
(also available by running "git help tutorial").

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
