So "git ls-files -i" would suddenly start erroring out and users are
to scramble and patch their scripts?

More importantly, the message does not make much sense.  "I is
usually used with O" is very true, but the mention of "usually" here
means it is not an error for "I" to be used without "O".  That part
is very understandable and correct.

But I do not know what "but --cached is the default" part wants to
say.  If it is the _default_, and (assuming that what I read in the
proposed log message is correct) the combination of "-i -c" is valid,
then I would understand the message if the code were more like this:

	if ((dir.flags & DIR_SHOW_IGNORED) &&
	    !show_others && !show_cached) {
		show_cached = 1; /* default */
		warning("ls-files -i given without -o/-c; defaulting to -i -c");
	}

If we are not defaulting to cached, then

	die("ls-files -i must be used with either -o or -c");

would also make sense.

The variant presented in the patch does not make sense to me.
