Start by tracing how nvim-tree determines the Git repository root and refreshes its status cache when the tree root is a subdirectory. Reproduce with the provided steps: open the tree from a repository subdirectory, run git add example.txt externally, and check whether the star disappears. Done means the status refresh works from a subdirectory as it does from the repository root.

Description

bug PR please reproduced
Description

If I open nvim in a repo subdir, and open nvim-tree, it does not update its git status cache. In particular, untracked files stay untracked even if I track them in another terminal or nvim itself.

This is observed only if the nvim-tree is opened with a subdir as its root. If I open it in the repo root, the git status gets updated.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a repo with a subdir: mkdir -p /tmp/repro/subdir && git -C /tmp/repro init
  2. cd /tmp/repro/subdir && touch example.txt && nvim -nu /tmp/nvt-min.lua
  3. :NvimTreeOpen - note the star near example.txt
  4. :!git add example.txt
Expected behavior

The star near example.txt disappears

Actual behavior

The star near example.txt does not disappear
