The real WTF here is that you are using a workdir as your live dir.

If you treat git as a *source* manager like it is, you'd also have an
installer that would copy the resulting files into their live locations,
and could be edited to either leave that newly untracked file alone,
or deliberately remove it.

Use git as intended, and you get no problems.
