That description doesn't cover all cases. Scenario #1: Let's say there is an untracked file at `$ROOT/file`. When your CWD is `$ROOT/`, all is well. If you cd to `$ROOT/src/` the ls-files command failed to find the untracked file. Scenario #2: Let's say there is an untracked file at `$ROOT/src/file`. The ls-files command would find the file if the CWD is `$ROOT/` or `$ROOT/src/`, but not if the CWD is `$ROOT/bin/` or `$ROOT/src/folder/`. Your description may be easier to understand, but I don't agree it's accurate. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
