Re: [PATCH] git status: ignore empty directories (because they cannot be added)

and a new option -u / --untracked-files to show files in untracked

A few things I'm not sure about:
- Should there be another option to disable --no-empty-directory?

I am not sure about this.  We used to show everything in a
directory full of untracked directory, which was distracting and
that was the reason we added --directory there.  Maybe it would
be less confusing if we just updated the message

	    print "#\n# Untracked files:\n";
	    print "#   (use \"git add\" to add to commit)\n";
	    print "#\n";

to say "use 'git add' on these files and files in these
directories you wish to add", or something silly like that,
without this patch?
