We can put it back. I wasn't checking mail frequently enough when it was
merged to see the dissension brewing.

However, its quite common on (say) a kernel tree to have many source
rules matched, and add isn't run once - its run regularly to pick up new
files. I don't see the change in risk between printing 'x files
ignored', and printing 15 or 20 lines of counts : I've only read the
entire list printed once or twice, and now its just noise.
