27.0.50; vc-git: Wrong status in vc-dir after registering directory |

0. mkdir test && cd test
git init
touch file
git add file
git commit -m "initial"
mkdir dir
touch dir/file1
1. emacs -Q
2. C-x v d
"dir/" is listed with "unregistered" status.
3. v
"dir/" has "added" status.
4. g
"dir/file1" is listed with "up-to-date" status. Shouldn't it have
"added" status?
5. g
Now "dir/file1" properly has "added" status.
Also:
- After step 3 point is moved to word "dir" on second line.
- Press "n" before step 3 to move point to "dir/". After step 3 "dir/"
status is not updated and remains "unregistered".

Regarding the moving of point, personally, I'm not sure which of the
behaviors is more correct.
It's `vc-dir-move-to-goal-column' called after `vc-register'. I will
make dedicated bug report.
Thanks.
The latter is caused basically by:
- Git returning a directory in the file status list.
- Directories not having an actual VCS status in our system.
How about to list files and not directories? This will allow to register
untracked files under untracked directory with single `v'. Please see
attached patch.
Okay, let's try this, thank you.
I believe the original idea was to avoid overwhelming the user when
there are a lot of unregistered files (build artefacts and the like),
but that's what gitignore is for.
Both patches are pushed, closing.
