The one which draw my attention was "(use "git commit" to conclude
merge)" which is particularly counter-productive when you are already
doing a "git commit". The advice for untracked files is less
counter-productive, but while we're removing the non-sensical ones, I
think it makes sense to remove the essentially-useless ones too.
