Nit. The reason --force-untracked-cache remains can probably stay in
the commit message. Here we can simply say "synonym of
--untracked-cache, deprecated" or something like that (or even ".. to
be deleted in version N.M").

Yeah, I think "deprecated" should be enough and clearer, but I will
see with AEvar who helped me on this.

Thanks,
Christian.
