Problem / Steps to reproduce

Download this source archive and extract test.tar.gz test.tar.gz.sig.gz

change directory to src/rxvt-unicode-9.31/

export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND=fd and run fzf
Enter something like xdefaults.c (located in the src/ directory)
There should be no matches

run fd | fzf
Do the same thing above
There should be matches

If you run fd alone it should list the files located in the src/ directory, but FZF for some reason ignores those files when using $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND.

The only thing that fixed this is by deleting .gitignore in the top level folder,
but I couldn't find anything about FZF handling .gitignore in the man page.
