    Add option -F to not complain about ignored files in pathspec
    
    It is far easier for git to know what are the ignored files than to the
    caller of git to figure out what should not be put the command line.
    
    This commit adds the option -F which will make git not complain about
    ignored files being added in the pathspec.
