I do not think it should.

I suspect that you misunderstand what "git add" is. It is not about adding a new path to be tracked. Rather, it is to add the current contents of the file (unless --interactive is used).

You told git to add the contents of "bla.txt" to the index as path "bla.txt". I do not think there is anything more to report after it did exactly what it was told to do.
