My development environment sometimes makes automatic changes that I don't

those files externally to Git Gui, and I want to be able to just select
those newly-created untracked files and "revert" them into oblivion.

Is there a reason these new files can't be ignored, with one of the
.gitignore file, .git/info/exclude, or core.excludesFile?

If so, it would be helpful to explain that in the commit message so we
can more fully understand the rationale here.
