git-ls-files --others lists untracked files in the current directory by
comparing it to the index stored in $GIT_DIR/index and listing files
present in the current directory but not in the index.

GIT_DIR is a path to the Git repository the commands should work with,
but if they work on working tree, they look at the current directory for
it.
