porcelain.add() not adding files in root directory

[Dominique Vocat]

Maybe i am missing something but i tried to find why i am missing files when using porcelain.add() vs git add "

One thing i seem to notice is that files located in the root folder do not get added by porcelain.add() and when i do the same with git add they are added to tracked files.

To show what mean i created a directory with two subfolders and two files in the root. Initialized it and ran add - result is this:

Changes to be committed:

 

    add: folder1/file3

    add: folder2/file4

 

Untracked files:

 

    file1

    file2

    .gitignore

    folder2/file4

    folder1/file3

the output of git status

On branch master

Initial commit

Changes to be committed:

  (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)

        new file:   folder1/file3

        new file:   folder2/file4

Untracked files:

  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        .gitignore

        file1

        file2

Is there something totally obvious that i am missing?
