Unhelpful error message `doc/title.xml: needs update`

@nathancarter observed the following, after having accidentally added doc/title.xml to a repository (a mistake that can very easily happen):

Extracting information from PackageInfo.g...
Package JupyterViz 1.3.0
Building GAP package documentation (using makedoc.g)
Generating documentation in Directory("./doc/")
[many lines of doc building]
#I  File: ./doc/manual.lab written.
doc/title.xml: needs update

Note the error message which is not very helpful. Ideally it should say something like uncommitted changes detected

Running releasetools again after gives just this line:

doc/title.xml: needs update
