Hi,

I do not understand why the same command works on linux and not on windows. Is the pathspecs syntax differ or there is a problem on the git windows version?

* On windows (git version 2.31.1.windows.1)

git status -- 'src/test.js' On branch master nothing to commit, working tree clean

* On linux (wsl: git version 2.25.1)

git status -- 'src/test.js'
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   src/test.js
A classic git status gives the same result between linux and windows
(with correct file detected).

Regards,
