I look up the meaning of "git commit -u":
$ git commit --help
...
-u[<mode>], --untracked-files[=<mode>]
Show untracked files (Default: all).
The mode parameter is optional, and is used to specify the handling
of untracked files.
The possible options are:
 no - Show no untracked files
 normal - Shows untracked files and directories
 all - Also shows individual files in untracked directories.
See git-config(1) for configuration variable used to change the
default for when the option is not specified.
I guess it means it only affects the status-display for --dry-run, but
it seems a little confusing to not say that explicitly...
