Maybe they do this because they read it in the Git user-manual.
Fix the manual to give them better guidance.

Originally "--no-index" mode triggered for untracked files within the
tracked tree, but with v1.5.6-rc1~41 (Merge branch 'jc/diff-no-no-index,
2008-05-26) the command was fixed to only implicitly trigger when paths
outside the tracked tree are mentioned.

Point in many directions in the hope of helping the reader find what
is needed more quickly.
This commit also removes the summary attached to the SEE ALSO entry
for difftool, to avoid making the SEE ALSO list too verbose. If the
reader wants a summary of the commands referred to, she can always
look to the top of the named pages or to the table of contents on the
main git(1) page.

v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".
For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)
Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.
This patch changes that, by allowing
M 040000 <tree id> ""
as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it. For example,
M 040000 4b825dc642 ""
is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of
git read-tree 4b825dc642

When the host has more than one interfaces, daemon can listen to all
of them by not giving any --listen option, or listen to only one.
Teach it to accept more than one --listen options.
Remove the hostname information form the die, if no socket could be
created. It would only trigger when no interface out of either all
interface or the ones specified on the command line with --listen
options, can be listened to and so the user does know which "host" was
asked.

In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'),
git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the
zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much
time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if
the user changed the zlib compression level).
However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories,
so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are
going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be
interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this
reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F
option that replaces the current -f.
Measurements taken using this patch on a current clone of git.git
indicate a 17% decrease in time being made available to users:
git repack -Adf 34.84s user 0.56s system 145% cpu 24.388 total
git repack -AdF 38.79s user 0.56s system 133% cpu 29.394 total
