I assumed "--all" to mean "every single file under a working dir
except ignored". so I thought users of "commit -a" wouldn't mind to
see files under untracked dir.
but I was wrong. man page clearly states that "... new files you have
not told git about are not affected."

I wasn't expecting that usage.
