How that is possible? Is it a bug?

alexko@ALEXKO-LAB b:\ » git status --untracked-files=normal # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # data/fex/lba/hi/qna/ nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

alexko@ALEXKO-LAB b:\ » git status --untracked-files=all # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean)
