Wrap this string and the one below with _() so they can be translated.

True.

I further wonder if a natural reaction from users after seeing this
message is "I do want to--what else would I use that option to run
you for?  Just do as you are told, instead of telling me what to
do!".  Is this warning really a good idea, or shouldn't these places
be setting the configuration?

In 435ec090ec (config: add core.untrackedCache, 2016-01-27) we decided
to just use warning() after discussing if we should instead set the
configuration.

Yeah that seems to be the version that was committed.  I then wonder
if the users would naturally have a similar raction to that warning
as well.
