Subject: Git does not recognise directory named '${sys:DATA_ROOT_DIR}'
Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2019 15:44:14 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHMHMxW4-6AZEDaJU8KOy2kRSLXjdC_RTH528=nnhVLXh=ADUA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello there,

While the name is obviously a mistake, git refuses to even acknowledge
the directory.

```
u@h:~/$ mkdir init-test
u@h:~/$ cd init-test
u@h:~/init-test$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/u/init-test/.git/
u@h:~/init-test$ (master #) mkdir \$\{sys\:DATA_ROOT_DIR\}/
u@h:~/init-test$ (master #) git status
On branch master

No commits yet

nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track)
u@h:~/init-test$ (master #) git add
.git/                    ${sys:DATA_ROOT_DIR}/
u@h:~/init-test$ (master #) git add \$\{sys\:DATA_ROOT_DIR\}/
u@h:~/init-test$ (master #) git commit --signoff -m'a'
On branch master

Initial commit

nothing to commit
u@h:~/init-test$ (master #)
```

Is that expected?
