That's when it's going to hurt (since that's when you have new files you don't yet know about). But then it should hurt only for the "git add ." phase, not for anything else (unless we have the performance bug of doing the ignore matching even on files we know about). And more importantly, it should hurt only once (since afterwards, we'll know about the files and know not to ignore them).
