Untracked files not shown

[rsignavong]

Untracked files are not shown even with

set status-show-untracked-dirs	= yes		# Show files in untracked directories? (status)
set status-show-untracked-files	= yes		# Show untracked files?

in my .tigrc file

TIG version:

> tig --version
tig version 2.5.6
ncursesw version 6.3.20211021
readline version 8.1

OS:
MacOS Monterey 12.4
M1 Apple Chip

I'm also seeing this problem. If I set status-show-untracked-dirs = yes after tig starts, it works as expected or if I set it via a script and TIG_SCRIPT it works on startup, but any setting in .tigrc seems to be completely ignored.

2.5.6 fixed the reading of status.showuntrackedfiles from git config. Values from git config override the values in .tigrc.

So, I did confirm that with 2.5.6 having showUntrackedFiles = true in git config causes tig to behave as expected.

But as I read the git-config documentation, the allowed values for showUntrackedFiles are no/normal/all and not true/false, but tig seems to treat all those values as false.

It seems like tig should be treating normal or all for showUntrackedFiles as true.

Agreed, not only the name needed to be fixed, the parsing as well.

Confirming fixed in 2.5.7
