How is that not reality?  Looks like Git is telling you exactly the right
thing.  You added four new files to the tree but you haven't run git add
on any of them.  Three are in new directories, so the whole directory is
showing up as new, and the other one is in an existing directory, so just
the file shows up as new.

(BTW, I would probably -1 this.  The test programs should only be in the
tests/ directory, not somewhere else and symlinked there.)
