Hello,
The doc for commit says "-u" is a suitable abbreviation for
--untracked-files, but only the latter works.
I'll submit a patch, but being new, I thought I'd ask which is correct
-- the doc or the code?
Thanks,
Sitaram

Looks like it got lost in the C rewrite of git-commit:
$ git grep untracked-files builtin-commit.c
builtin-commit.c: OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "untracked-files", &untracked_files, "show all untracked files"),
$ git grep -B2 contrib/examples/git-commit.sh
contrib/examples/git-commit.sh- -u|--u|--un|--unt|--untr|--untra|--untrac|--untrack|--untracke|\
contrib/examples/git-commit.sh- --untracked|--untracked-|--untracked-f|--untracked-fi|--untracked-fil|\
contrib/examples/git-commit.sh: --untracked-file|--untracked-files)
So it should probably be supported. The patch is a one-liner, but I'll
leave it as an exercise for you. :)

Due to my using gmail which doesn't leave the whitespace alone, I had
to resort to the clumsy trick of doing a "sendmail -oi -t -f
sitaramc@gmail.com" from my home machine, and vger's SMTP listener
decided to greylist the mail.
It'll come through eventually, assuming I keep my laptop switched on
long enough!
(Although pobox.com seems to have accepted it OK.)
