Dear Junio,
Could you tell me your thought about the way for me to go?
Do you agree with his suggestion; "--uid etc is not the right
solution, --include-untracked is better and generic" ? Or,
should I work "--uid etc" further?
Regards,
mpsuzuki

I don't know if it's a good idea, but perhaps we don't even need a new

Instead of aborting we could include them in the archive. (Sounds like
the simplest possible interface, but may have practical problems.)
One practical problem is that users who do this
$ git archive HEAD Documentation/ | tar tf -
would be expecting (at least) two different things, depending on the
situation they are in.
So at least you'd need an "--include-untracked" option, I guess.
