If forgit::add (ga) is not showing untracked files, it might be due to a broken Git version (e.g., 2.50.1). Updating Git to a more recent version should resolve the issue. See issue #503 for details.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 408: The README line claims that forgit::add (ga) not showing untracked
files is due to a “broken” Git 2.50.1 and references non‑existent issue `#503`;
remove or revise this unverifiable troubleshooting tip: either delete the
sentence that mentions Git 2.50.1 and issue `#503`, or replace it with a verified
alternative (e.g., suggest upgrading Git generally and link to an actual,
existing issue or upstream Git changelog) and update the wording referencing
forgit::add (ga) to be factual and cite a valid issue/PR or documented Git
versions if one exists.
