Does anyone else read it the first way?
Either reading has the same end effect. After the command, the file is not managed by fossil, whether or not it had been at some point in the past.
And a final question which is related: is there documentation which describes 
the possible responses and what they mean?
If not would anyone mind if I wrote some documentation and submitted it to this 
list?
More documentation is always welcome. There isn't a strong "house style", other than what can be gleaned from the existing documentation. For something like the list of status words, I can see arguments for either a central document that will land in the /www folder in the repository, or for extending the help text of the commands that emit the statements.

Or both, where the command help is terse, and a more complete explanation that can cover the topic across the several commands can be in the /www folder.

Either way, I believe Richard will be happiest with a signed contributor agreement from you on file [1]. The contributor notes all talk about source code. I don't know how much more relaxed he would be about pure documentation.
