Administrivia.  Please never deflect direct responses to you with
"Mail-Followup-To" header.  I told my mailer to "follow-up" so that I
could give you advice in response, while adding others in the
discussion to Cc so that they do not have to repeat what I said, but
your "Mail-follow-up-to" forced my advice to go to Nguyen, who does
not need one.

Both.

               fprintf(stderr, _("Use -f if you really want to add them, or\n"
				 "run git check-ignore to see\nwhy they're ignored.\n"));

But in this particular case, I tend to think the additional noise
does not add much value and something the user wouldn't want to see
over and over again (in other words, it belongs to "an advice").
