Subject: [PATCH 24/24] git-status.txt: advertisement for untracked cache
Date: Sun,  8 Mar 2015 17:12:47 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1425809567-25518-25-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1425809567-25518-1-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com>

When a good user sees the "too long, consider -uno" advice when
running `git status`, they should check out the man page to find out
more. This change suggests they try untracked cache before -uno.

@@ -58,7 +58,10 @@ When `-u` option is not used, untracked files and directories are
 shown (i.e. the same as specifying `normal`), to help you avoid
 forgetting to add newly created files.  Because it takes extra work
 to find untracked files in the filesystem, this mode may take some
-time in a large working tree.  You can use `no` to have `git status`
+time in a large working tree.
+Consider enabling untracked cache and split index if supported (see
+`git update-index --untracked-cache` and `git update-index
+--split-index`), Otherwise you can use `no` to have `git status`
 return more quickly without showing untracked files.

 The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles
