Which part of the manual makes you think you should see untracked
files? (that's a real question ;-) ).

git diff doesn't mention untracked files, but shows the diff between
the working tree and the staged content for files known to git.
To see the files in "git diff", you have to let Git know about these
files, with "git add --intent-to-add the-file-you-want-to-see" (alias
"git add -N"), or you should use "git status".
