Does not reproduce for me. With --ignored (with or without -s), I see all the dot-o files that are ignored by .gitignore rules that are usually omitted from status output without --ignored. $ make >/dev/null 2>&1 $ rungit v1.7.3 status | grep -F git.o $ rungit v1.7.3 status --ignored | grep -F git.o # git.o $ rungit v1.7.3 status -s --ignored | grep -F git.o !! git.o The same for v1.7.4.5 or more recent versions. I am not inclined to build and install v1.7.4.1 to test, as I do not think it is likely that the particular version is bad. It is more likely that there is something wrong with your particular setting or expectation. E.g. already tracking a path that would match .gitignore rule, and expecting that such a path is shown, even though it is not "ignored". > Also, git help status does not mention the --ignored switch.
