[Bug 1505277] [NEW] git doesn't warn about missing permissions when listing files in git status

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. create a `git` repository and a directory `d` with permission `rwx------` owned by `root:root` and file `d/f`
  2. run `git status` as non-root user

There's no info that `git` wasn't able to read `d/` which is misleading
with a larger set of changes.
