Do you mean that\nthe path is not listed as untracked in \"git status\"?\n\nAre there any files inside the directory? Git will not mention empty\ndirectories, as tracks only file content, not directories.\n\nBeyond that, I cannot reproduce:\n\n  $ git init\n  $ mkdir -p '~/.config/git'\n  $ git status -s\n\nLack of output is expected, since there are no files. Now:\n\n  $ echo content >'~/.config/git/foo'\n  $ git status -s\n  ?? ~/\n  $ git status -s -uall\n  ?? ~/.config/git/foo\n\nThis is on Linux. Are you by any chance using Git for Windows? I wonder\nif the recent chances to short-names like \"foo~1\" could have affected\nthis.\n\n-Peff\n"}]}
