[Bug 1536434] Re: Git does not display filenames in status, even if it's one file on multiple subdirectory path

[Anders Kaseorg]

You can also just run git add DIRECTORY (e.g. git add .) which is
equivalent to adding all the (non-ignored) files in the directory.

Title:
  Git does not display filenames in status, even if it's one file on
  multiple subdirectory path

Status in git package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  As you can see below, on list of untracked files there is './' but to
  get particular file name I need to ls then git add. Desired behaviour
  would be listing file name instead './'

  nusch at XPS13:~/Dane/pentest/whitepapers/sql$ git status
  On branch master
  Untracked files:
    (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

   ./

  nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
