Well of course, if you do not commit directories but a few files, then yes, 
you might have a problem.

Otherwise, it means that you have forgotten to add a file. So it will be
? ForgottenFile
for any commit or update.

There is also the particular case when you do not want to commit a new change 
in a file but forgot that without modification of that file you cannot commit 
the other modified files either.

Well, at least, that are the traps where I have fallen at least once.
