My development environment sometimes makes automatic changes that I don't
want to keep. In some cases, this involves new files being added that I
don't want to commit or keep. I have typically had to explicitly delete
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.

I have an entry in the 'Tools" menu for this called 'Delete':

[guitool "Delete"]
    cmd = rm -f \"$FILENAME\"
    noconsole = yes
    needsfile = yes
    confirm = yes

This change updates the revert_helper function to check for untracked files
as well as changes, and then any changes to be reverted and untracked files
are handled by independent blocks of code. The user is prompted
independently for untracked files, since the underlying action is
fundamentally different (rm -f). If after deleting untracked files, the
directory containing them becomes empty, then the directory is removed as
well.

This introduces new strings in index.tcl. I have been told that there is a
separate process whereby the translations get updated.
