From: Junio C Hamano
The git status command can be used to obtain a summary of which files have changes that are staged for the next commit.
-The add command can be used to add ignored files with -f (force) -option, but they have to be explicitly and exactly specified from the -command line. File globbing and recursive behaviour do not add ignored -files.
+The git add command will not add ignored files by default. If any +ignored files were explicitly specified on the command line, git add +will fail with a list of ignored files. Ignored files reached by +directory recursion or filename globbing will be silently ignored. +The add command can be used to add ignored files with the -f +(force) option.
Please see git-commit(1) for alternative ways to add content to a commit.
