I am not sure about this.  We used to show everything in a
directory full of untracked directory, which was distracting and
that was the reason we added --directory there.  Maybe it would
be less confusing if we just updated the message

	    print "#\n# Untracked files:\n";
	    print "#   (use \"git add\" to add to commit)\n";
	    print "#\n";

to say "use 'git add' on these files and files in these
directories you wish to add", or something silly like that,
without this patch?
