histedit: sniff-test for untracked file conflicts before prompting for rules

This bug is as old as histedit, which is more than 10 years! I'm a
little sad about the extra calculations here that we're just going to
throw out, but I don't see any better way to look for untracked file
conflicts and I want the bug fixed.
