Answer 1

Since the Visual Studio 2015 update 1 release notes and its "Known Issues and Fixed Bugs" page does not mention anything related to Git, try to:

• make a fresh clone of your repo from the command line (git clone)
• import the solution in Visual Studio and check if the git repo is detected

Or:

• make a new git repo with Visual Studio (as in "Visual Studio Code: How to integrate Git")

• check that you can add new files
• close Visual Studio
• overwrite that new repo by your own (delete and replace the .git by your own, and copy your worktree over the one used by Visual Studio)
