Weird behaviour of git status

Hello everyone,

I just noticed a weird behaviour in git status. I have created new files in different directories in my project. I have added all of them in the index with git add. When I run "git status" It shows me that all my 3 files are in the index. However if I run git-status specifying a directory, it returns that the file in this directory are in the index but the other one isn't.

In my opinion, it should
- either display all the files as in the index (specifying a directory
wouldn't have any effect then)
- treat only file in the specified dir. So "external" files wouldn't be
shown at all.

Thanks

Nicolas
