Re: [PATCH v2] git prompt: Use toplevel to find untracked files.

SZEDER Gábor [off-list ref] writes:

Somehow I had a hard time making sense out of "when the current working
directory was not a parent of the untracked file".  Perhaps "when the
untracked files are outside of the current working directory" would be
easier to grok?

That description doesn't cover all cases.

Scenario #1: Let's say there is an untracked file at `$ROOT/file`.
When your CWD is `$ROOT/`, all is well. If you cd to `$ROOT/src/` the
ls-files command failed to find the untracked file.

Scenario #2: Let's say there is an untracked file at `$ROOT/src/file`.
The ls-files command would find the file if the CWD is `$ROOT/` or
`$ROOT/src/`, but not if the CWD is `$ROOT/bin/` or
`$ROOT/src/folder/`.

Your description may be easier to understand, but I don't agree it's accurate.
