---pathspec-from-file=<file>::
-	Pathspec is passed in `<file>` instead of commandline args. If
-	`<file>` is exactly `-` then standard input is used. Pathspec
-	elements are separated by LF or CR/LF. Pathspec elements can be
-	quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath`

-	global `--literal-pathspecs`.
-
---pathspec-file-nul::
-	Only meaningful with `--pathspec-from-file`. Pathspec elements are
-	separated with NUL character and all other characters are taken

 -u[<mode>]::
 --untracked-files[=<mode>]::
 	Show untracked files.

---
 The mode parameter is optional (defaults to 'all'), and is used to
 specify the handling of untracked files; when -u is not used, the
 default is 'normal', i.e. show untracked files and directories.
-
++
 The possible options are:
-
++
 	- 'no'     - Show no untracked files
 	- 'normal' - Shows untracked files and directories
 	- 'all'    - Also shows individual files in untracked directories.
-
++
 The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles
 configuration variable documented in linkgit:git-config[1].

-COMMIT INFORMATION
-------------------
-
-Author and committer information is taken from the following environment
-variables, if set:
-
-	GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
-	GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
-	GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
-	GIT_COMMITTER_NAME
-	GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
-	GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
-
-(nb "<", ">" and "\n"s are stripped)
-
-The author and committer names are by convention some form of a personal name
-(that is, the name by which other humans refer to you), although Git does not
-enforce or require any particular form. Arbitrary Unicode may be used, subject
-to the constraints listed above. This name has no effect on authentication; for
-that, see the `credential.username` variable in linkgit:git-config[1].
-
-In case (some of) these environment variables are not set, the information
-is taken from the configuration items `user.name` and `user.email`, or, if not
-present, the environment variable EMAIL, or, if that is not set,
-system user name and the hostname used for outgoing mail (taken
-from `/etc/mailname` and falling back to the fully qualified hostname when
-that file does not exist).
-
-The `author.name` and `committer.name` and their corresponding email options
-override `user.name` and `user.email` if set and are overridden themselves by
-the environment variables.
-
-The typical usage is to set just the `user.name` and `user.email` variables;
-the other options are provided for more complex use cases.
