Hi!
Thanks for the quick reply.

Yep, that's a bug in the Pro Git book. "Untracked" means "not in
the index", nothing more, nothing less.
But your definition doesn't include files that
have been committed. In the following trivial case
in a new git repository
cp /etc/passwd x
git add x
git commit -m"fooling around"
is "x" tracked? Your definition says it isn't
but "git status" makes me think it is.
Sorry to be so pedantic.
