title: Git track untracked files without adding to commit
body: <p>I ran the command "git reset", but my unstaged changes were put into folders instead. I get something like the following after running git status:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Changes not staged for commit:
    (use "git add &lt;file&gt;..." to update what will be committed)
    (use "git checkout -- &lt;file&gt;..." to discard changes in working directory)
  
      modified:   file1
      modified:   file2
      modified:   file3
      modified:   file4
      modified:   file5
  
  Untracked files:
    (use "git add &lt;file&gt;..." to include in what will be committed)
  
      folder1
      folder2
      folder3
      folder4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Each of the folders contains multiple files which I modified, but were for some reason grouped into these folders.</p>
  
  <p>I need to separate these changes into multiple pull requests, so "git commit -a" won't do.</p>
  
  <p>The best solution I see is to "git add -all", copy the "git status", and "git reset" again, but that seems like a lot of effort.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a better solution?</p>
