When treat_directory() encounters a directory that is not in the index and DIR_NO_GITLINKS is unset, it calls resolve_gitlink_ref() to decide if a directory looks like a repository, in which case the directory won't be traversed. As a result, 'status -uall' and 'ls-files -o' will show only the directory, even when there are untracked files within the directory. For the unusual case where a repository doesn't have a commit checked out, resolve_gitlink_ref() returns -1 because HEAD cannot be resolved, and the directory is treated as a normal directory (i.e. traversal does not stop at the repository boundary). The status and ls-files commands above list untracked files within the repository rather than showing only the top-level directory. And if 'git add' is called on a repository with no commit checked out, any untracked files under the repository are added as blobs in the top-level project, a behavior that is unlikely to be what the caller intended. The above case is a corner case in an already unusual situation of the working tree containing a repository that is not a tracked submodule, but we might as well treat anything that looks like a repository consistently. Loosen the "looks like a repository" criteria in treat_directory() by replacing resolve_gitlink_ref() with is_nonbare_repository_dir(), one of the checks that is performed downstream when resolve_gitlink_ref() is called. As the required update to t3700-add shows, calling 'git add' on a repository with no commit checked out will now raise an error. While this is the desired behavior, note that the output isn't yet appropriate. The next commit will improve this output.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
