Merge branch 'jc/show-untracked-false'
The status.showUntrackedFiles configuration variable had a name that tempts users to set a Boolean value expressed in our usual "false", "off", and "0", but it only took "no". This has been corrected so "true" and its synonyms are taken as "normal", while "false" and its synonyms are taken as "no". * jc/show-untracked-false: status: allow --untracked=false and friends status: unify parsing of --untracked= and status.showUntrackedFiles

`git update-index --untracked-cache` and `git update-index
--split-index`), Otherwise you can use `no` to have `git status`
return more quickly without showing untracked files.
+All usual spellings for Boolean value `true` are taken as `normal`

The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles
configuration variable documented in linkgit:git-config[1].
