GIT_WORK_TREE=dir git ls-files --deleted

Hello

git ls-files --deleted seams to be broken when GIT_WORK_TREE is set as can be observed below.

Instead of just showing deleted files it also shows at least unchanged and modified files.

I have observed this behaviour with git.git and do not know if released versions are affected.

#### setup

$ mkdir -p base/worktree
$ cd base/
$ export GIT_DIR=/tmp/base/.git
$ export GIT_WORK_TREE=/tmp/base/worktree
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/base/.git/
$ touch worktree/deleted worktree/modified worktree/unchanged
$ git add .
$ git commit -m init
[master (root-commit) f4e1bd3] init
 0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 deleted
 create mode 100644 modified
 create mode 100644 unchanged
$ rm worktree/deleted
$ echo modified > worktree/modified

#### expected result

$ git ls-files --deleted deleted

#### actual result

$ git ls-files --deleted deleted modified unchanged

#### untracked and out-of-worktree seam to be fine

$ touch worktree/untracked $ touch not-in-worktree $ git ls-files --deleted deleted modified unchanged

#### related options / commands seam to be fine

$ git ls-files --modified deleted modified $ git ls-files --others $ git ls-files --cached deleted modified unchanged $ git status # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # deleted: deleted # modified: modified # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Ps: Is there a way to show modified files excluding deleted files
other than this?
( git ls-files --deleted; git ls-files --modified ) | uniq --unique
Pps: The description of --others is ambitious, what is "other files"?
