As described in the bug report at
https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/999
the user was disconcerted by the question asked by the program not
requiring a reply from the user. To improve the general usability of
the Git suite, The following rule was applied:
if the sentence
* appears in a non-interactive session
* is printed last before exit
* is a question addressing the user ("you")
the sentence is turned into affirmative and proposes the option.
