Hi,
I have a minor bug with git (head of master today): Briefly, added
files in a toplevel directory show up as "untracked" for
"git status ." in a subdirectory. See below to reproduce.
Indeed, I've always considered the fact that "git status ." reports
untracked files outside the current directory as a bug, but I'm not
sure whether this is intended or not. If not, then not looking for
untracked files oustide the directory when doing a limited "status"
would be a fix.
No time for a patch, appologize :-(.
/tmp/test$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
/tmp/test$ mkdir subdir
/tmp/test$ touch file1
/tmp/test$ git add file1
/tmp/test$ touch subdir/file2
/tmp/test$ cd subdir/
/tmp/test/subdir$ git add file2
/tmp/test/subdir$ git status .
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: file2
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# ../file1 <------------------- this one
shouldn't be here
/tmp/test/subdir$ git status
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# new file: ../file1
# new file: file2
