Both. fprintf(stderr, _("Use -f if you really want to add them, or\n" "run git check-ignore to see\nwhy they're ignored.\n")); But in this particular case, I tend to think the additional noise does not add much value and something the user wouldn't want to see over and over again (in other words, it belongs to "an advice"). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
