Rework to encourage safer practices and add friendly note about git scariness.
We should not be encouraging the use of git add -A, it leads to many many problems year-on-year later down the line. This change replaces that with a pattern-matching solution that should make things generally better for everyone without requiring students add each individual file by hand.
Obviously one can still use *.* to get around this, but honestly by that point you probably know enough to know better.
