I was not talking about the messages in the editor session. I was
talking about "git commit" without "git add" anything.
For example:
```
$ touch newfile.txt
$ git commit
On branch master
Untracked files:
newfile.txt
nothing added to commit but untracked files present
```
My current patch is trying to add an empty line between
"Untracked files:" and "newfile.txt".

With my above clarification, I guess your two use cases will be the
same: the messages will appear on the console screen. That leads
to a conclusion: we should save vertical screen space. I am working
on a new patch to achieve that.
