I do not quite understand your rationale behind linking -a and
"show untracked" behaviour. In many cases, after modifying
multiple files "commit -a" is the preferred way to make commits
for people who keep their tree clean (meaning, they do not leave
unrelated changes to their working tree files), and I suspect
your change would clutter their commit log buffer with unrelated
files they did not ask to see.
At least this would make things somewhat unpleasant for me to
use, since I do "commit -a" often and I have my random notes
files under ./+trash subdirectory of the main project (yes, I
know I could add /+trash to .gitignore).
We have something different but perhaps related by Matthias
Lederhofer to add "git status --untracked" since you did this
patch.
