I don't like the new 'nothing to commit (use "git add ... message")'
message. I use git status very often to see if there is something to
commit, but now there is always this annoying "use git add ..." message.
I tend to not like _ANY_ change at all, but I've learned to wait
and see if I get used to it when I see something that annoys me
initially, to see if the annoyance is because what it does is
truly wrong or it is because what it does is merely different
from what I am used to.

So I've been trying it out myself as one of the guinea pigs on
this one as well.

So far, my judgement is that this is of the better kind; it is
easy to get used to, and once you get used to it, it is easily
ignorable.
How about doing this?

git-status: squelch "use 'git add file...'" message when unneeded

Add a field in wt_status to record if there are any uncached
changes, and use it to decide when there is no point to add the
"use 'git add'" message.
