git-ls-files.txt: clarify -x/--exclude option
Since b5227d8, -x/--exclude does not apply to cached files. This is easy to miss unless you read the discussion in the EXCLUDE PATTERNS section. Clarify that the option applies to untracked files and direct the reader to EXCLUDE PATTERNS. Signed-off-by: Jay Soffian <jaysoffian@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
