tig status does not show untracked files outside of current directory

[BenBergman]

I just noticed that untracked files are not showing up in tig status if they are not in the current directory or lower.

For example, say we have this directory structure:

root
 |- dir_a
 |   '- old_file
 '- dir_b
     '- new_file

If we are currently in dir_b or root and run tig status, we see the untracked file new_file, but if we are in dir_a, we see (no files) listed.

Edit: I'm running tig from source, version tig version 1.1-89-g9439272

I'm no longer experiencing the issue after upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu, equipped with an updated version of zsh. Might have something to do with one of these.

Now also running tig 2.0.3 and git 2.3.0, like @makrem025
