No longer recognizing untracked files #620

Describe the bug
MGit is no longer recognizing untracked files on Android. I know that there is a filesystem issue due to new permissions in Android 11+, but isn't there a "see all files" permission? I know that there are a few apps that have it, such as Solid Explorer.

I have even moved my repo and files to the Documents folder as I saw recommended in some of the Google Play Store review replies. That did not solve the issue either. I have multiple new files that I created with a different app, and I am not seeing them show up in MGit as untracked files like I would expect.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a file with an app such as Obsidian or Markor in a file within the repo
  2. Open MGit
  3. Check for changes - no changes found

Expected behavior
After creating new files they should be seen as untracked files in MGit
