I do not think there is any need to have a separate "all or none" option. We do not have to make things more complicated than necessary. If all untracked files are precious, a user should be able to say so with an entry that matches all paths "*" to mark them precious, and nothing more needs to be done. By default nothing is ignored and nothing is precious, until you start marking paths with .gitignore entries.
