Agreed.

As a seasoned user, I don't find it very informative. It doesn't say
enough to be informative, because I always expect some files to be
ignored. We used to list the matched ignore rules, and I think that
would be much more informative. But possibly overkill.
I don't know whether it's helpful for a new user, though. I think it
could be informative if they weren't expecting any files to be ignored.
