It just tells you not to forget to commit the file named 'sources'. The file
changes when you execute new-sources and should be commited, because it
contains an md5sum of the source tarball.

The message is somewhat misleading, because the 'sources' file gets staged
automatically after new-sources, so if you do fedpkg commit, it gets commited
anyway.

Hope this explanation is not even more confusing:)
