Is there a rationale for not accepting `--ignored default`? (It's just the way OPTION_STRING inputs seem to work, but in other cases [c.f. man git gc, search "--prune=" ] this is just implied). Or rather: no need to spell this out explicitly IMHO, as that draws the users attention to it, which might be confusing. > ++ > +The possible options are: > ++ > + - 'traditional' - Shows ignored files and directories, unless > + --untracked-files=all is specifed, in which case > + individual files in ignored directories are > + displayed. > + - 'no' - Show no ignored files. > + - 'matching' - Shows ignored files and directories matching an > + ignore pattern. > ++ > +When 'matching' mode is specified, paths that explicity match an > +ignored pattern are shown.

C.f. Documentation/git-gc.txt "--auto". Oh, screw that. It turns out, this place is the only place in our docs where we use triple colons.
