 The 'git status' command can be used to obtain a summary of which
 files have changes that are staged for the next commit.
 
-The 'add' command can be used to add ignored files with `-f` (force)
-option, but they have to be explicitly and exactly specified from the
-command line.  File globbing and recursive behaviour do not add ignored
-files.
+The 'git add' command will not add ignored files by default.  If any
+ignored files were explicitly specified on the command line, 'git add'
+will fail with a list of ignored files.  Ignored files reached by
+directory recursion or filename globbing performed by Git (quote your
+globs before the shell) will be silently ignored.  The 'add' command can
+be used to add ignored files with the `-f` (force) option.

        leading directory name (e.g. `dir` to add `dir/file1`
        and `dir/file2`) can be given to add all files in the
        directory, recursively.
