I wouldn't say there is no problem in this part of the documentation, but
I think the "default" you are touching is not entirely incorrect. It is
talking about what happens when you give only -u without saying <mode>,
and I think <mode> _does_ default to 'all'.
When the command is _not_ given any "-u" option, the behaviour of it does
default to "handle untracked files in the 'normal'" mode.

So either
Show untracked files (<mode> defaults to 'all')
The mode parameter is optional, and is used to specify the
handling of untracked files; when -u is not used, the default is
'normal', i.e. _show x and y and z_
(I'm too lazy to look x/y/z up, so please fill in the blanks).
or
Show untracked files.
The mode parameter is optional (defaults to 'all'), and is used to
specify the handling of untracked files; when -u is not used, the
default is 'normal', i.e. _show x and y and z_
I don't have a strong preference either way, but if I had to choose I
probably would go with the latter.
