Package: arcanist
Version: 0~git20200925-1
Severity: grave

If one has one or more commits in /some/repo one can create a
Phabricator diff by running `arc diff $oldver`.  If there are are
untracked files in the directory the arcanist client gives the message:

--------8<-----------------------------------------------------8<--------
You have untracked files in this working copy.

  Working copy: /some/repo

  Untracked changes in working copy:
  (To ignore these 1 change(s), add them to ".git/info/exclude".)
    file0
    file1
    file2

    Ignore these 3 untracked file(s) and continue? [y/N]
--------8<-----------------------------------------------------8<--------

Suspicious resemblance to what `git status` might give.  If one then goes
to an appropriate version of Phabricator, on the right column between
"Tags" and "Subscribers" will be "Referenced Files".

I have noticed "Referenced Files" appears when untracked files are
present.  Diffs done from repository directories with no untracked files
do not have the "Referenced Files".

As such I reasonably believe arcanist is NOT ignoring these files.  At a
minimum it is uploading metadata about them to Phabricator, at worst it
is uploading them to the server without notification.

Privacy and security violation.  This is visible enough I suspect many
people have already noticed.
