I noticed the merge commit message (and branch name) don't make
mention of the changes to git status --ignored. I forgot to mention it
when the last cooking email when out, but was that intended?
I think at the very least, if the branch name isn't updated to reflect
that status --ignored is being changed, something like the following
should be appended to the merge commit message:
"git status --ignored" previously did not list ignored files in
untracked directories without -uall, contrary to the documented
behavior of the --ignored flag (that all ignored files would be
listed). This has also been corrected.
